I am a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Computer Science and a member of the theory group at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am hosted by Nina Balcan. My research interests are in algorithmic game theory and mechanism design, machine learning theory, and algorithms under uncertainty.
I received my PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University, where I was advised by Eva Tardos. During my PhD studies, I was a long-term visitor at the Simons Institute for the theory of computing in Fall 2015 for a semester on Economics and Computation, an intern at Google during summer 2017, and an Ivy-Plus Exchange Scholar at Princeton University hosted by Matt Weinberg, 2017-2019. Before joining CMU, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC) and Northwestern University, where I was hosted by Avrim Blum, Jason Hartline, and Samir Khuller.
I am on the 2023-2024 job market.
