Research Interests

I am currently a first year in the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at the University of Washington. I am a member of the Theory Group, and am advised by Anna Karlin. I am being generously supported by the National Physical Science Consortium.

I am interested in the mathematical aspects of computer science. My specific research interests are in discrete structures and probabilistic methods, and their application to combinatorial optimization, dynamic network analysis, and randomized algorithms.

Current Projects

I am currently working with Yossi Azar, Ben Birnbaum, Nikhil Devanur, and Yuval Peres on balanced outcomes in social exchange networks.

For more information on research projects past and present, please see my current CV.

Math is like love: a simple idea, but it can get complicated.
