I am an assistant professor of [Computer Science](https://www.cs.wisc.edu/) at
the [University of Wisconsin--Madison](https://www.wisc.edu).
**I am currently looking for good students!**
Previously, I was a postdoc in the [Department of Computer
Science](https://www.cs.cornell.edu/) at [Cornell
University](https://www.cornell.edu/), hosted by [Nate

## Research Interests ##
My research spans two classical areas of computer science: **algorithms** from
theoretical computer science (commonly known as **TCS**) and **formal
verification**. My work has mostly centered on [**differential
I design methods to **formally verify** that programs are correct, especially
programs that use **randomization**. Such programs are often easy to show
correct on paper, but surprisingly challenging for computers to prove correct.
Accordingly, my research blends ideas from two classical areas of computer
science: **randomized algorithms** from theoretical computer science (**TCS**)
and **formal verification**.
Drawing inspiration from how humans reason about randomized algorithms, we can
build simpler and more automated verification techniques. In the past, I've
applied this approach to properties like **accuracy**, **incentive
compatibility**, Markov chain **mixing**, and various notions of **algorithmic
stability**.
A particular focus of my work has been [**differential
privacy**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy), a rigorous
definition of privacy that is currently under extensive study.
From the verification side, I investigate formal methods---such as [**type
I have investigated a variety of formal methods---such as [**type
systems**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system) and [**program
logics**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoare_logic)---to verify that programs
are differentially private. More generally, I consider formal verification for
properties of randomized algorithms, including **incentive compatibility**,
Markov chain **mixing**, and various notions of **algorithmic stability**. From
the algorithms side, I apply differential privacy to optimization, machine
learning, and mechanism design.
are differentially private.
From a more traditional algorithms perspective, I am also interested in applying
differential privacy to optimization, machine learning, and mechanism design.
