I am a staff scientist in Theoretical Division (in the Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics group) and in the Advanced Network Science Initiative at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
My research interests lie at the intersection of statistical physics, computer science, and statistical learning. I work on methods for learning high-dimensional distributions and graphical models; for message-passing algorithms and applications in epidemiology; for learning of dynamical systems and applications in power grids; and for quantum computing.
