Hello! I am a fourth-year Computer Science PhD student at Boston University. I am advised by Adam Smith. I received a BS in Mathematics from Case Western Reserve University in 2015.
My research focuses on the theory of machine learning and data privacy. I am interested in creating algorithms for differentially private learning and statistics as well as understanding the necessity of memorization in machine learning.
