Member of Technical Staff · Math, Inc. · New York, NY

I work on synthesis, verification and intelligence at Math, Inc.

Before that I spent a few years at a startup building neurosymbolic program synthesizers. I did my Ph.D. at Purdue and a postdoc at UT Austin, both in programming languages and formal methods, and spent time at Microsoft Research.
