I am a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences working with Sharad Ramanathan on efficient inferences about essential nodes in neural networks and time scale dynamics of network states.
I've taught graduate level courses: Applied Math 215: Advanced mathematical methods for modern biology and Applied Phys 286: Inference, information theory, learning, and statistical mechanics at Harvard. Before Harvard, I worked with Jeff Gore (MIT), Ahmet Yildiz (UC Berkeley) and Volker Büscher (Mainz) as an undergraduate research assistant. I got my BS in Physics at Bogazici University in 2014.
