I am the Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Foundations of Data Science and an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. I have cross-appointments in the Department of Applied Mathematics and in the Cheriton School of Computer Science. I am an affiliate of the Perimeter Institute and Waterloo.AI. Before joining Waterloo, I was a Benjamin Pierce fellow at Harvard University, and an NSF mathematical sciences postdoctoral fellow at Harvard and the University of Toronto. Before that, I received a PhD in mathematics from the Courant Institute (NYU), where I was advised by Gerard Ben Arous. I did my undergrad in math and physics at NYU as well.
