I am currently a fifth year grad student at Caltech, where I am advised by Profs. Thomas Y. Hou, Houman Owhadi and Andrew M. Stuart.
Academically, my research is centered around probabilistic and multiscale analysis and algorithms for computation and inference, in the area of scientific computing, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning.
I am very grateful to be supported by the Kortschak Scholars Program.
