I am an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago. Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar in Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech, hosted by Prof. Yisong Yue. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from ETH Zurich, under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Krause. My research interest lies broadly in probabilistic reasoning and machine learning. I am currently working on developing interactive machine learning systems that involve active learning and sequential decision making. You can find more information in my Google scholar profile.
