About Me
I am a third year graduate student at Rice University. I am advised by Dr. Anastasios Kyrillidis in Computer Science, and overseen by Dr. Geoffroy Hautier in Materials Science. I am fortunate to collaborate as well with Dr. Christopher Jermaine, Dr. Thomas Reps of UW-Madison, Dr. George Phillips, and Dr. Mitchell Miller.
My work focuses in three areas:
1) the development of novel Neural Network (NN) architectures,
2) applying NNs to the physical sciences: specifically atomistic structural calculations in nanoengineering and biochemistry,
3) design and theory of approximate attention mechanisms
Throughout my work I focus on the underlying mathematics of the application domain and customizing the NN architecure to encode inductive biases into the architecture. Additionally, due to the nature of the ML for physical sciences domain, a substantial part of my work in that area is in cross-departmental collaboration, developing and integrating NN pipelines and utilities, and data curation.
For an up-to-date resume including internships, awards, etc, please feel free to contact me!
I started writing some explanatory articles covering in detail the mathematics of machine learning. Check them out!
