I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I work, broadly, in machine learning. My current research interests are in the intersection of decision-making under uncertainty and game theory with applications in computer systems. For more details, see my publications.

Prior to UW-Madison, I was at UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
