about

I am on academic leave as of January 2023 to start a company based on novel applications of zero-knowledge proofs.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at The University of Chicago. My research is supported by NSF Grants No. DMS-1701654/2039183 and DMS-2054838. My CV is here.

My research interests are in probability and its applications to machine learning and high-dimensional statistics. My papers are on my research page.

Before UChicago, I was a Simons Fellow and Ritt Assistant Professor in Department of Mathematics at Columbia University. I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from MIT, advised by Pavel Etingof. I completed my undergraduate studies in mathematics and economics at Harvard, advised by Dennis Gaitsgory, and spent a year studying mathematics at Cambridge supported by the Churchill Scholarship.
