I am an associate professor of Statistics and Data Science and of Electrical and Systems Engineering at University of Pennsylvania. Before moving to UPenn in 2022, I was an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and an associated faculty member of Computer Science and Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University from 2017 to 2021. Prior to this, I was a postdoc in Statistics at Stanford University from 2015 to 2017, and obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University in Jan 2015.
