I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Washington working with Kevin Jamieson. My primary research interests are in the theoretical foundations of sequential decision-making, with a recent focus on pure exploration problems in reinforcement learning. I have spent time at Microsoft Research as well as the Simons Institute, and my work has been supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
Previously, I completed a master's and bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan, both in Electrical Engineering. While at the University of Michigan, I worked with Raj Rao Nadakuditi and Necmiye Ozay.
