I am a second-year PhD candidate in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) at Georgia Institute of Technology, based in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), where I am fortunate to be advised by Mohit Singh and Sahil Singla. My research interests include approximation and online algorithms, stochastic optimization, and spectral graph theory.
Before coming to Atlanta, I earned a Master’s degree in Computer Science from University of São Paulo (USP), where I was advised by Marcel K. de Carli Silva. During this time, I was also a visiting student at Bocconi University, hosted by Luca Trevisan. Earlier, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Science at USP.
