A little about me: I am an associate professor of Statistics and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. I completed my PhD in computer science at Berkeley in 2014. My research interests are a bit eclectic, and they span computation, statistics, optimization, and machine learning; if you like any of these, we can probably find something interesting to chat about. (Here is a slightly more formal bio, with higher resolution photos, in the third-person.)
Expository writing
Publications: [a list of my publications] in mostly chronological order.

Please note: unfortunately, I am unable to respond to most inquiries regarding openings for graduate and postdoctoral positions in my group. Admissions to Stanford are handled at a department-wide level, not by me individually, so I am unable to comment on your suitability for graduate school or work with me. If you are already a Stanford student or have been admitted to Stanford, feel free to contact me about interests we may share.
