Biography
My research interests are in the areas of machine learning and discrete optimization.
In particular, my goal is to improve discrete optimization solvers and algorithms by using machine learning.
Recently, I have been also working on discrete problems that arise in deep learning, where continuous optimization methods fail and combinatorial algorithms are more natural.
I did my Ph.D. in Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech, where I worked with Bistra Dilkina, and collaborated closely with George Nemhauser.
