About
I am a Ph.D. student in Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Davis, co-advised by Jesús De Loera and Alexander S. Wein. My research interests include computational convex geometry, optimization, and algorithms for overcomplete tensor decomposition.
Current projects: (i) critical points of slabs of the hypercube (computational geometry & combinatorial optimization), (ii) Koszul–Young flattenings for symmetric overcomplete tensor decomposition.
