Background
Currently, a Sr. Data Scientist at Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) hub at PSI, Switzerland. Her research work includes developing statistical and optimization methods for various domains such as spectroscopy, power management, etc. Her core research interests are mostly focused on developing safe learning and optimization algorithms for convex and non-convex constrained problems. Particular optimization domains of interest include robust optimization, chance constraints, derivative-free optimization algorithms, large-scale optimization, online learning. In future, she considers developing provably safe feedback control policies with application to robotics in uncertain environment, personalized medicine, etc.
