Background
- I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rice University in Houston, TX, USA. I completed double bachelor degrees in Mathematics (with Department Honors) and Computer Science at Texas Christian University (TCU). My research interests lie between Optimization theory, Riemannian geometry, and Machine Learning.
Miscellany
- My own favorite quote: 'Nothing is trivial in astute eyes.'
