Research

I am a probabilist working on problems coming from data science and physics. My recent work focuses on high-dimensional pheneomena in data science, including the dynamics of learning algorithms, statistical-computational tradeoffs, and the hardness of random optimization problems. The tools and techniques I use and develop come from probability, analysis, and statistical physics, specifically the mean field theory of spin glasses.
