About Me

My primary research spans differential privacy and machine unlearning.

I am also excited about theory-driven continual and sequential learning.

I am working under the guidance of Mark Bun in the Theoretical Computer Science research group.

Projects (listed)

Privacy Preserving Machine Learning| Differential Privacy, Learning Theory

  • The broadest goal is to better understand the divide between traditional and private approaches in interpretable decision-making and convert private learning algorithms from the batch setting to the online setting.

  • Algorithm development of near-optimal differentially private learning algorithms in the batch (PAC) and online settings for foundational concept classes such as generalized decision lists, sparse disjunctions, low-weight halfspaces, etc.


Responsible & Safe AI | Machine Unlearning, Computer Vision, XAI

  • Unlearning methods for computer vision and explainable learning models.
