Bio

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer and Cyber Sciences at Augusta University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University, working with Prof. H. Vincent Poor and Prof. Sanjeev Kulkarni. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania under Prof. Hamed Hassani.

Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, optimization, and statistical inference. I am broadly interested in the mathematical foundations of learning and decision-making, with an emphasis on the following areas:

• Machine learning and artificial intelligence. Foundations of learning, generalization, adaptation, and generative modeling.

• Optimization and game theory. Algorithms and theory for continuous, discrete, and adversarial optimization.

• Reinforcement learning and decision-making. Learning to act and adapt through interaction with uncertain environments.

• Statistical inference and information theory. Estimation, testing, sequential inference, and the limits of learning from data.

• Distributed and federated learning. Learning and coordination across multiple agents, devices, and data sources.

• Robust and trustworthy learning. Reliability under uncertainty, distribution changes, and adversarial conditions.

See my publications for current work.
