*at SIAM MDS, Atlanta, 2024.
I completed my PhD in mathematics with a specialization in computational science at UC San Diego, where I was fortunate to be advised by Alex Cloninger and Gal Mishne.
My research areas are geometric data analysis, manifold learning, spectral graph theory, optimization and optimal transport.
