About

I am a PhD candidate in Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton University and am interested in studying problems in learning and statistics through the lens of optimization. Aside from work, I am an expert skier with experience instructing at all levels and am an amateur photographer. I enjoy portraiture, nature and travel photography -- you can see some of my featured works on my website purplecowphoto.com.
