I am a Senior Software Engineer at the Structured Data Group of Google Research in New York City, currently working on natural language processing for news and fresh content.

I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Chicago in Spring 2017, after defending my dissertation, Algorithms and Complexity Results for Learning and Big Data, on February 17th, 2017. I was fortunate to have Lev Reyzin and György Turán as my advisors.
