About Me
I am an Associate Professor (with tenure) in the department of Data Sciences and Operations, Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California (USC). I also hold a courtesy appointment at the Computer Science, USC Viterbi School of Engineering.
I am broadly interested in design and analysis of statistical methods for large-scale data, high-dimensional inference, network analysis, non-convex optimization and personalized decision-making. For more details, please see my publications.
Prior to joining USC, I was NSF CSoI postdoctoral fellow with worksite at Stanford University and UC Berkeley. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University advised by Andrea Montanari.
Activities
I am Associate Editor for Operations Research in the “Machine Learning and Data Science” department. I am also serving on the 2022 Dantzig Dissertation Prize Committee.
