Our group is primarily
focused on the design, mathematical analysis, and
application of stochastic algorithms and models. Our
work draws on tools from probability theory, numerical
analysis, and statistical and machine learning. Research
in the group is informed by our long term collaborations
with applications experts in areas such as astrophysics,
biophysics, computational chemistry, and weather and
climate science.
I am a professor of
mathematics in the Courant Institute of Mathematical
Sciences at New York University. Previously I was an
associate professor in the statistics department and in
the James Franck Institute at the University of Chicago
and, before that, an assistant professor in the
mathematics department there. Before moving to Chicago,
I was a Courant Instructor of mathematics at NYU and a
PhD student in mathematics at the University of
California at Berkeley.
