About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the New York lab of Microsoft Research. Prior to that, I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, working with Peter Bartlett and Martin Wainwright.

Interests
I am broadly interested in Learning Theory, Statistics and Convex Optimization. My research focus is on computational issues in learning theory, viewed through the lens of convex optimization. I like to understand the tradeoffs between learning and computation, as well as designing efficient learning algorithms that can learn under a given computational budget. I also work on the computational and statistical aspects of estimation in high-dimensional problems. In a past life, I used to work in Machine Learning applied to Web Search and Ranking.
