Welcome! I am an assistant professor at CUNY- New York City College of Technology. Prior to this, I held a similar position at the CS department in Yeshiva College-Yeshiva University. I was a postdoctoral Scholar in the Mathematical Sciences Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and a postdoctoral visiting scholar at ICERM, Brown University. I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics at Oregon State University under the supervision of Dr. Malgorzata Peszynska. My general research interests are machine learning/statistical learning, deep learning, numerical analysis, partial differential equations and applied functional analysis. I always look forward to collaborating on interdisciplinary scientific projects at all levels.

I enjoy collaborating with undergraduate students on research. Check out a video of my students talking about their research experience with me on summer 2020 (the pandemic summer.)
