Writing a book on the complexity of log-concave sampling. Co-authored a monograph on statistical optimal transport with Jonathan Niles-Weed and Philippe Rigollet. Published several papers, including 'Sublinear iterations can suffice even for DDPMs' and 'Stability of the Kim–Milman flow map'.
Research Experience
Participated in the Simons Institute program on Geometric Methods in Optimization and Sampling in Fall 2021, co-organized a working group on the complexity of sampling with Kevin Tian. Visited Jonathan Niles-Weed at New York University in Spring 2022. Was a research intern at Microsoft Research, supervised by Sébastien Bubeck and Adil Salim, in Summer 2022. Served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024.
Education
Received B.S. in Engineering Mathematics and Statistics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2018; Ph.D. in Mathematics and Statistics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2023, advised by Philippe Rigollet.
Background
Assistant Professor of Statistics and Data Science at Yale University. Research interests include the mathematics of machine learning and statistics, with a focus on applications of optimal transport.
