Getting ready to head to MAPSP! My amazing co-author, Shirley Zhang, will be presenting work from our recent paper on minimizing flow time given an active time budget.

New paper on minimizing flow time with an active time budget—a type of energy minimization constraint—is available and has been accepted to SPAA 2022.

Our paper on the hardness of scheduling with non-uniform communication delays was accepted to SODA 2022.

I am officially a postdoc at Northwestern University now. I’ll be spending my time sometimes in Chicago/ Evanston, sometimes in Seattle.

Happy to announce that I am a member of the 2021 cohort of CIFellows.

I successfully defended today! I’m very excited to be starting a postdoc in October at Northwestern University :)

Our paper on algorithms for the approximate trace reconstruction problem was accepted to ISIT!

New paper on the hardness of scheduling with non-uniform communication delays.

I presented more work on scheduling jobs with communication delays at SODA 2021. Check out the talk.

Giving a talk at FOCS this week on scheduling jobs with precedence constraints and communication delays. Check out the long (20 min) version of the talk.

We continue studying scheduling in more general settings in a new paper (to be online soon), which was accepted for presentation at SODA 2021.

I’m grateful to receive the Tanzi-Egerton Fellowship from the Math department.

I’m starting a summer internship at Microsoft Research next week.
Seattle summers are July–September :)

Happy to be receiving a Microsoft Research Dissertation Grant!

New paper on scheduling jobs with precedence constraints and communication delays.

Attending the Dagstuhl Seminar on Scheduling mid-February. Is there vegan food in Germany, or will I be surviving on beer for a week?

I completed my 200 RYT in the summer of 2019. I teach yoga classes at UW.

I run a lot. I really like to run. Often it’s with Race Condition Running, which is open to anyone who’d like to join us!

• I was a mentor with the Washington Directed Reading Program during the following quarters: Spring 2019, Fall 2020, Winter 2021. I lead projects with undergraduates outside of the WDRP during the Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 quarters.

• I was the secretary for UW’s chapter of AWM during the 2018-2019 academic year. We host events to help create a supportive and inclusive environment for women and underrepresented minorities in mathematics (WUMiM).

• I co-taught the course Math in Society to an amazing groups of people during the Summer of 2018 through FEPPS. FEPPS provides college education for incarcerated women, trans-identifying, and gender nonconforming people in Washington. I have tutored and done other work through FEPPS, as well.

• I volunteered at UW’s Math Circles during the Spring of 2018.
