About Me
I'm an undergraduate at USC studying applied math and computer science. I am very fortunate to do research with the CS Theory Group under Prof. Vatsal Sharan. Right now we're thinking about memory-sample lower bounds for common optimization and statistical tasks. I'm also interested in algorithms for distributed computation.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you're also interested in optimization, learning, or information theory! I'd love to learn from you and share what I have.

Notes
I really enjoy courses with final projects!- Slides, write-up about learning under cryptographic hardness. Course project for CS476 (Cryptography).
- Private-robust mechanism design (CS699 course project). This is mostly notes from this paper. We gave a presentation using these slides.
