Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science,
University of California Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697-3425

I joined EECS Department at University of California Irvine in August 2010. I am a member of the center for pervasive communications and computing (CPCC). I was a post-doctoral researcher between 2009-2010 at the Stochastic Systems Group working with Prof. Alan Willsky. I graduated with a PhD from Cornell University with Prof. Lang Tong as my advisor. I am also a frequent visitor at Microsoft Research, New England.

My research focus is in the high-dimensional learning of probabilistic graphical models and latent variable models. Broadly I am interested in machine learning, high-dimensional statistics, tensor methods, statistical physics, information theory and signal processing.

Prospective students/ Postdoctoral researchers/ Visitors

I am looking for graduate students with a strong mathematical background in probability and statistics, algorithms and graph theory. If my research sounds exciting, apply to graduate program here. Please do not contact me directly. I will not be able to respond to individual queries. I also do not plan to offer undergraduate summer internships. Please do not send me emails asking for one.

I am also interested in hosting postdoctoral researchers and visitors. Drop me an email if you are interested.

Upcoming Events

  • Tutorial at ICML 2013 on tensor methods with Sham Kakade and Daniel Hsu.
  • Talk at INI, Cambridge, UK (August 12-16). Link
