Biography
I started at Brown in Fall 2024 and am interested in developing resource-efficient algorithms for stochastic and online computational problems. In particular, I place a strong emphasis on finding methods that lend themselves to practical application by considering how an algorithm makes its way from a paper to a computer system. Before joining Brown, I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Chicago and, after graduating, developed algorithms and systems for equity options market making at Goldman Sachs. In my free time, I like to take long walks, hang out with my cats, and engage in overly ambitious cooking projects.
