89                            <p> I am a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor in the <a href="https://www.math.ucla.edu/">Department of Mathematics</a> at UCLA, hosted by <a href="https://www.math.ucla.edu/~deanna/">Deanna Needell</a> and <a href="https://www.math.ucla.edu/~bertozzi/">Andrea Bertozzi</a>, where I also work closely with <a href="https://www.oscarleong.com/home">Oscar Leong</a>. Previously, I completed my PhD at <a href="https://www.cam.ac.u
89k/">University of Cambridge</a>, supervised by <a href="https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/people/cbs31/">Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb</a>, and hold a double MSc from <a href="https://www.tudelft.nl/en/">TU Delft</a> and <a href="https://www.tu.berlin/en/">TU Berlin</a>, and a double BSc from <a href="https://www.tudelft.nl/en/">TU Delft</a>.  </p> <p> My research lies at the interface of <strong>Riemannian geometry, signal processing, and machine learning</strong>, with a focus on developing geometric algorithms for inverse problems, scientific data analysis, and high-dimensional inference. My work combines <strong>theoretical rigor with practical performance</strong>, while emphasizing <strong>robustness and interpretability</strong> in settings where black-box models fall short. </p> <p> I am currently <strong>on the academic job market</strong> for faculty positions in mathematics, applied mathematics, and related interdisciplinary areas. </p> <p> Beyond research, I enjoy teaching mathematics at UCLA, mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, and engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations. I am also an avid hiker, swimmer, sailor, skier and snowboarder, and a classics and poetry enthusiast. </p>
