Hi! I’m a Postdoc at McMaster’s Math & Stats department studying statistical clustering. I received my Bachelor of Mathematics in Mathematical Physics and Master’s in Applied Mathematics from the University of Waterloo in 2020 and 2022 respectively. I completed my PhD in Mathematics at the Institute of Applied Mathematics located in the University of British Columbia in 2026. I am broadly interested in the tools and methods for automatically discovering patterns in data, and how we can accomplish this efficiently.

Research interests include:

  • clustering
  • image & signal processing
  • musical applications
  • unsupervised machine learning
  • tensor factorization
  • optimization
