<p> I'm currently a member of technical staff at Sandia National Labs in the Optimization and Uncertainty Quantification Group.
    Previously, I was the John von Neumann Fellow under <a href="https://cfwebprod.sandia.gov/cfdocs/CompResearch/templates/insert/profile.cfm?dpkouri">Drew Kouri</a>.
    My primary focus is developing algorithms for non-smooth, non-convex problems in optimization.
