I am an assistant research professor (postdoc) at the Center for Data Science for Enterprise and Society (CDSES) at Cornell University. My hosts are Professor Andrea Lodi and Professor Soroosh Shafiee.
Prior to joining Cornell, I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, advised by Professor Cynthia Rudin. I also worked closely with Professor Margo Seltzer. Before Duke, I earned my B.S. degree with double majors in physics and mathematics and a minor in computer science from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2018. Go Blue!
My research interest is organized around three thrusts:
1) creating interpretable and trustworthy ML solutions for high-stakes decision making, in domains such as healthcare, criminal justice, and finance;
2) designing efficient discrete and continuous optimization techniques to solve related optimization problems, which are usually nonconvex and have a combinatorial nature;
3) building open-source, efficient, and user-friendly software packages for the broad data science community.
The long-term goal is to let humans and machines seamlessly collaborate and complement each other.
