about: |
  <p align='justify'>
  I am a research scientist in the
  <b>Fundamental AI Research (FAIR)</b>
  group at
  <b>Meta</b>
  in NYC and study foundational topics in <b>machine learning</b> and
  <b>optimization</b>, recently involving
  reinforcement learning, control, optimal transport, and geometry.
  I also teach machine learning at <b>Cornell Tech</b>.
  My research is on learning systems that understand and interact with our world
  and focuses on integrating structural information and domain knowledge into
  these systems to represent non-trivial reasoning operations.
