About

I am a Ph.D. student in Statistics at Columbia University, under the supervision of David Blei. Before that, I received a B.S. in Mathematics and Statistics from Rice University, where I worked with Daniel Kowal.

My work studies the foundations of modern probabilistic inference and decision making. See my papers. My recent interests include:

• Variational inference and optimal transport
• Scalable and generalized empirical Bayes
• Reliable causal inference from machine learning models
