Research

I research at the interface of the mathematics of machine learning and signal processing, using high-dimensional probability, optimization and machine learning to understand novel aspects of high-dimensional structured signal recovery, the mathematics of information and deep learning. 

I want provable guarantees with practical relevance for the design and analysis of methods for structured underdetermined linear inverse problems, like LASSO for compressed sensing or deep learning methods for computational sensing.

I am a CRM Applied Math Lab- and IVADO-funded postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at McGill University in Montréal, Canada with Drs. Tim Hoheisel (McGill) and Simone Brugiapaglia (Concordia).
