I am a Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics, at University of California Los Angeles. I am also an Associate Member of the Department of Statistics and the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance, at University of Oxford.

Here is my Google Scholar page.

I co-organize the weekly Mathematical and Statistical Finance (MSF-UCLA) and Statistics and Machine Learning in Finance (SMLFin-Oxford) Seminar Series.

Bio: I finished my Ph.D in Applied and Computational Mathematics (PACM) at Princeton University in 2012, where I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Amit Singer. My thesis was on the low-rank matrix completion problem and several distance geometry problems with applications to sensor network localization and three-dimensional structuring of molecules. • During 2013-2016 I was a CAM Assistant Adjunct Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA, hosted by Andrea Bertozzi. I spent Fall 2014 as a Research Fellow at the Simons Institute for Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley, in the program Algorithmic Spectral Graph Theory, and Spring 2014 as a Research Fellow at ICERM, at Brown University, in the Network Science and Graph Algorithms program. • Throughout 2017-2018 I was a Turing Research Fellow within the Department of Statistics + Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford and The Alan Turing Institute in London. • During 2018-2024 I was an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics, Affiliate Faculty in the Mathematical Institute, Member of the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance, Stipendiary Lecturer in Statistics at Merton College, at University of Oxford, Turing Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute in London.

Program Co-chair of the 4th ACM Conference on AI in Finance (ICAIF 2023). Co-organizer for the workshop, ICAIF'23 Workshop on NLP and Network Analysis in Financial Applications. Previously organized ICAIF'21 Workshop, ICAIF'22 Workshop, and Turing workshop on Network Science in Financial Services (2019).

Research interests
I am interested in the development and mathematical & statistical analysis of algorithms for data science, network analysis, and certain computationally-hard inverse problems on large graphs, with applications to various problems in machine learning, statistics, finance, and engineering, often with an eye towards extracting structure from time-dependent data which can be subsequently leveraged for prediction purposes. More specifically, I have considered problems that span
