I am a researcher at Mistral AI. I am broadly interested in machine learning theory and reinforcement learning. You can find more about my research and selected publications here.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate in Yale University mentored by Dan Spielman. I completed my PhD in the theory group at UCSD advised by Sanjoy Dasgupta and Shachar Lovett. I have spent some fun summers at Microsoft Research, Institute for Advanced Study and Simons Institute.
