Speaker Information

I’m currently working to complete my PhD in Computer Science & Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. My research interests include applying mathematical tools such as convex optimization and tensor decomposition to novel machine learning problems, such as developing algorithms for planning in reinforcement learning with an exponentially large environment, and learning stochastic effects in environments expressed in planning domain definition language. Before that, I focused on finding robust numerical solutions in nonlinear differential equations in physics. During my years in academia, I have also accumulated much experience in teaching. I have lectured at the University of Vermont and Washington University in St. Louis on multiple topics such as analysis of algorithms, advanced algorithms and college algebra.
