Welcome to my page!

I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton University, mentored by Bartolomeo Stellato. In Fall 2026, I will start as an Assistant Professor of Operations & Technology at the UCL School of Management.

I received my PhD from Imperial College Business School, where I was fortunate to be advised by Wolfram Wiesemann as a member of the Analytics & Operations group. I was a fellow at the Computational Optimization Group and the Data Science Institute of Imperial College London, and I completed research internships at The Alan Turing Institute and J.P. Morgan AI Research.

My research interests are the theory of data-driven decision making under uncertainty and its applications in machine learning, privacy, and fairness. In my recent works, I have been working on designing optimal privacy mechanisms, developing efficient algorithms for robust machine learning, as well as approximating hard decision making problems via robust optimization.
