PhD student in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Caltech. My research interests are in randomized and rank-structured techniques in computational linear algebra with applications in scientific simulation and data science. I write a series of blog posts called Big Ideas in Applied Math, where I give my take on important concepts in applied mathematics from a the perspective of a newcomer to the field.
