Postdoc in Theoretical Computer Science
I am currently a Research Fellow at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing for the Fall 2025 program Algorithmic Foundations of Emerging Computing Technologies.
My research is in randomized data structures, particularly classical data structures, online algorithms, graph algorithms, and privacy.
I received my PhD in Computer Science from NYU in 2025, where I was fortunate to be advised by Martín Farach-Colton. I received my MS in Computer Science from Rutgers University, MS in Mathematics from Yale University, and BS in Mathematics from Rutgers University. I also worked as actuary and attained my Fellow of the CAS certification.
As of 6/27/25, I have a 3-year (and counting) NYT crossword streak. Here is a picture of me working on it at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro this summer.
