PhD Candidate, UMass Amherst

I am completing my PhD at UMass Amherst this year and am actively seeking industry and post-doc positions. My research sits at the intersection of generative modeling and representation learning, where I am interested in characterizing the geometric structure of data in order to understand how to build better representations of data and interpretable generative models. Additionally, I am interested in flow based and diffusion based generative models and have used them for image generation, time series modeling, variational inference, and Boltzmann sampling.
