MIT PhD student
Cole Becker
I am a third-year PhD student at LIDS at MIT, where I am grateful to be advised by Pablo Parrilo and supported by the NSF GRFP fellowship. I also work with Asu Ozdaglar and Russ Tedrake.
My research interests are broadly in learning algorithms for generative modeling and dynamical measure transport. I am also interested in connections between sampling and optimization.
Before MIT, I was an undergraduate and master's student at Princeton University, where I was fortunate to work with Bartolomeo Stellato and Amir Ali Ahmadi.
