I am a PhD candidate in the EECS department at MIT affiliated with LIDS. I study scientific machine learning and statistics with applications in genetics, biophysics and astronomy. I used to be a field ecologist and I keep a line of work on large carnivores (big cats and dogs in the wild). I consider myself more of a naturalist liking animals and stars and willing to study them. Most of my academic work can be found on Google Scholar and arxiv.
