About Me

I am a PhD student at Boston University where I am advised by Evimaria Terzi and Mark Crovella. I am currently researching new ways of clustering data to analyze the spatial distribution of waves during the spread of Covid-19. My interests involve algorithms for data mining, especially discrete problems on graphs, clustering, matrix decomposition, and MCMC. More broadly I find it important to think about how data science and machine learning are affecting society, and how they might be used responsibly to answer interesting questions. And even more broadly I am still just trying to figure out what I'm interested in!
