Research

I am broadly interested in topics such as applied probability, statistics and optimization theory. Specific interests include large-scale dynamic optimization, stochastic optimization and learning theory. Following is a list of substantial projects I've been involved in:

• Non-parametric Approximate Dynamic Programming via the Kernel Method, pdf

  with Vivek Farias and Ciamac Moallemi

• Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Experiment Design, in preparation

  with Vivek Farias and Ciamac Moallemi

• Approximate Dynamic Programming for Stochastic Assignment Problems, in preparation
