I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Algorithms and Theory Group at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before coming to UIUC, I was an undergraduate at Princeton University.
My research interests lie in Theoretical Computer Science (mainly the design and analysis of algorithms) and Combinatorics (mainly structural graph theory). I am currently working on approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. My advisor is Chandra Chekuri.
I enjoy teaching, watching and writing stand-up comedy routines, reading, ingesting copious amounts of music, taking photographs, freestyle/urban skating, annoying my friends with poorly timed jokes, and thinking chocolate (just to name a few).
