About #
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics and the Mathematical Institute for Data Science at Johns Hopkins University. Before, I was Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech hosted by Venkat Chandrasekaran and Joel Tropp. I obtained my PhD in Applied Mathematics from Cornell University advised by Damek Davis. I completed a MSc in Mathematics and two BS in Mathematics, and in Systems and Computing Engineering at Universidad de los Andes where I was co-advised by Mauricio Junca and Mauricio Velasco. I spent part of 2020 with the Algorithms and Optimization team at Google Research hosted by Miles Lubin and David Applegate.
Research interests #
I am interested in the beautiful interplay between optimization, geometry, and statistics and its applications to data science, machine learning and signal processing.
