I am a mathematician/computer scientist in the Theory Group at MIT EECS, where I hold the Elting Morison Career Development Chair. I was previously a FODSI postdoctoral fellow at MIT CSAIL hosted by Ankur Moitra. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington, where I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Shayan Oveis Gharan. I am interested in the design and analysis of sampling algorithms for high-dimensional probability distributions. I like thinking about Markov chain mixing times, statistical physics, and the geometry of polynomials.

My dissertation can be found here.

I am currently working with the following excellent graduate students:

• Francisco Pernice (coadvised with David Gamarnik)
• Amit Rajaraman (coadvised with Sam Hopkins)
• Daniel Lee
