General Information
About
- I am an Assistant Researcher at UCLA and a cofounder of the OASIS Lab.
- My research interests lie in network science, statistical inference, causal inference, information theory, machine learning, data mining, and signal processing.
- My research develops and applies computational methods to understand, predict, and improve complex networked systems—while mapping the fundamental limits of inference: when data contains enough signal and when algorithms can efficiently recover it. I organize my work around three aims: empirically analyzing when methods generalize or fail, deriving theoretical limits on inference and detection, and applying these insights to real-world domains including social networks, digital platforms, public health, and human-AI interaction. I draw on tools from network science, machine learning, causal inference, statistical physics, and information theory.
