À propos

I am a principal researcher at Microsoft Research, New England. (opens in new tab)Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, and received my PhD in computer science from Cornell University, advised by Karthik Sridharan (opens in new tab).

My research focuses on problems at the intersection of machine learning and decision making, with a recent emphasis on reinforcement learning. I am excited about uncovering new algorithmic principles and fundamental limits, as well as developing new models that better capture challenges and constraints faced when deploying data-driven decision making systems in practice.
