I am an assistant professor at Department of Mathematics. Before joining UCSB, I was a member of Prof. Mauro Maggioni's research group and worked as assistant research professor at Johns Hopkins University. Here is my CV. I am interested in solving problems in the mathematical foundations of Data Science. My cuurent research projects are motivated by the need to exploit dynamical data sets in complex physical systems to perform inference with provable performance and build generalizable and interpretable predictive models, where I used and developed techniques from Statistical/Machine Learning, Harmonic Analysis, Approximation Theory, and Probability. My research can be categorized to the following two areas:
