I am a PhD candidate in the
statistics
department at UC Berkeley
where I am advised by
Steve Evans.
Previously, I was an undergraduate in the
mathematics department at Stanford.

My research in mathematical statistics develops rigorous foundations for problems at the intersection of statistics and geometry. Some specific topics I'm interested in include:
- Statistical inference for Fréchet means, and related theoretical and applied problems in non-Euclidean statistics
- Optimal transport, and various aspects of stochastic and infinite-dimensional optimization
- Clustering, and other topics in machine learning.
