ABOUT

I am a graduate student at MIT working with Tommi Jaakkola and Pulkit Agrawal. Before MIT, I obtained my B.S. from Cornell University (Summa Cum Laude).

Research Interests: I am broadly interested in developing principled and practical pipelines that extend machines’ capability to learn in realistic problem settings related to perception, control, and scientific discovery. I investigate ways to represent data in various resolution and abstraction in order to control or predict the quantity of interest with efficiency and accuracy.
