Biography

I am part of the wonderful theory@cs.cmu group. Prior to joining in 2023, I received my BMath from the University of Waterloo, PhD from CMU advised by Gary L. Miller, and was a postdoc (Instructor) in Applied Math at MIT.

My research is broadly in the design and analysis of fast algorithms for solving fundamental computational problems, including graph algorithms, dynamic algorithms, and linear algebraic algorithms.
