About Me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC) hosted by Prof. Avrim Blum. Currently, I am supported by Simons Collaboration on the Theory of Algorithmic Fairness. Prior to joining TTIC I did my PhD at University of Maryland College Park where I was advised by Prof. Samir Khuller. During my PhD, I visited Northwestern University for two years. I am interested in learning theory, algorithmic fairness, and combinatorial optimization.
