I am a 2nd year Operations Research PhD Candidate at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) at Georgia Institute of Technology. I am grateful to be advised by Professor Anton J. Kleywegt and Renato D.C. Monteiro, and quite fortunate to collaborate and learn from Dr. Arkadi Nemirovski, Dr. Weijun Xie, and Dr. Santanu Dey.

My research interests lie in theory and algorithms of convex optimization, especially in the development of efficiently computable methods for nonlinear and stochastic programming.

Prior to beginning my PhD, I graduated from Georgia Tech with focuses in Economics and Mathematics. I also pursued MS degrees in math and econ while as undergrad through BS/MS.

I am grateful for the generous support provided by the National Science Foundation GRFP, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Georgia Tech, and GEM PhD Fellowship.
