I am a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) and the Algorithms and Randomness Center (ARC) at Georgia Institute of Technology, working with Ashwin Pananjady and Juba Ziani.
I received my Ph.D. in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Nihar Shah. Before that, I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley.
My research interests lie in statistical machine learning, particularly in applications to high-stakes decision-making and evaluation problems such as admissions, hiring, grading and peer review. I draw inspirations from psychology to model real-world phenomena, develop theoretical guarantees using tools from statistics and computer science, conduct crowdsourcing experiments, and implement policy changes that make real-world impacts.
My CV is available here (updated 02/2024).
