I am currently pursuing a DPhil in Statistics at the University of Oxford. My thesis topic is Robust Machine Learning: A Predictive and Generative Perspective, supervised by Prof. Yee Whye Teh and Prof. Tom Rainforth, along with Prof. George Deligiannidis and Prof. Arnaud Doucet. I am the recipient of the prestigious Clarendon Fund Scholarship, with only one awardee from the Department of Statistics in my year.
Before starting my DPhil, I spent 3 years as an Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services, Inc. Together with my research internships at Microsoft Research, Boson AI USA Inc., and CognitiveScale, I have a total of 4.5 years of industrial research experience.
I hold a BSc in Computer Science with Honors (Turing Scholars Honors) and a BSc in Mathematics with Honors from the University of Texas at Austin, with a GPA of 3.89 out of 4. My undergraduate honours thesis was on Training Ising Models on Images using Sparsitron, supervised by Prof. Adam Klivans. During this period, I also completed a Certificate in Applied Statistical Modeling and a Minor in Economics.
