Worked on low-level, high-performance hyperparameter optimization algorithms and novel machine learning uses for Anton
Scientific Associate
Studied the supercooled liquid to glass transition using GPU-accelerated molecular dynamics simulations and Anton (ASIC). In the process, I found novel uses of machine learning... more techniques like persistent homology and online learning when applied to high-dimensional time series analysis.

Biweekly speaker series endearingly coined "TED w/ friends"
Founder · NYC Salon is a speaker series that aims to be "TED with friends". In 2015, we started inviting people with novel insights or… · More interesting projects in art, economics, science, technology, and comedy to give talks about their work and process, and we have been meeting every other Tuesday since then. Engaging deeply with the material and getting to know other attendees is a core principle of NYC Salon, so after each talk, we break up into small groups and workshop topics related to the talk. Our speakers have gone on to give talks at TED, the UN, and at the World Bank. Our goal is to create opportunities for serendipity, collaboration, and lifelong learning.
