At Oppenheimer's House

I am currently a doctoral candidate in Statistics at Texas A&M University, where I am advised by Dr. Bani K. Mallick (TAMU Statistics) and co-advised by Dr. Debdeep Pati (UW-Madison Statistics).

Research Interests

My research focuses on:

  • Scientific machine learning for materials science and geosciences.

  • Theoretical foundations and practical applications of Bayesian optimization and approximate Bayesian methods in multidisciplinary real-world problems.
