I am a research engineer at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) focusing on speech and language. I currently work on semi and unsupervised methods in speech recognition and parallel and distributed architectures and optimization methods for deep learning. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s M&T Program where I received master’s and bachelor’s degrees in computer science and a bachelor’s degree in economics at The Wharton School, focusing on statistics and operations research.
