Biography

I’m starting my fourth year as a PhD student in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at the University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Professor Paul Grigas. My research interests include Machine Learning, First Order Methods, and lately I have been working in application in Online Advertisement.

Areas which I find of great interest is the application of First Order Methods to big data, primal-dual methods, Distributionally Robust Optimization, and WGANs.

I have been a Graduate Student Instructor (Teaching Assistant) at Berkeley of:

• IEOR 240: Optimization Analytics (Fall 2016, 2017).
• IEOR 290: Modern Optimization for Statistical Learning (Spring 2017, now).

I received the 2018 Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award.
