Biography

I am a brain resident at Google Toronto.

I am broadly interested in computational statistics and optimization, with a focus on methods that interact with machine learning. More specifically, I am most interested in Monte Carlo methods for simulation and numerical methods for optimization and their effective implementation. My long term goal is to develop and improve techniques for efficient and robust learning and bridge the gap between theory and practice.

I maintain a research blog here.
