I am an Assistant Professor in the
Department of Statistics and the
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley. In June 2020, I received my Ph. D. from Stanford, where I was advised by
Andrea Montanari.
My research is motivated by
data science and
AI, and lies at the intersection of
statistics,
machine learning,
information theory, and
computer science. I often builds on insights that originated within the
statistical physics literature. My research interests include language models and diffusion models, theory of deep learning, theory of reinforcement learning, high dimensional statistics, quantum algorithms, and uncertainty quantification.
Here is my Google Scholar, Twitter, and my CV.
