I am a first year Machine Learning PhD student at Georgia Tech.

My professional interests include optimization, machine learning, and transportation (especially subway systems ― my favorites are Hong Kong's MTR and my hometown D.C. Metro) and I currently research in Georgia Tech's AI for Optimization (AI4OPT) lab.  Feel free to reach out at rjr@gatech.edu.

I am an experienced leader and organizer ― I have organized international events featuring high-profile figures (including a sitting head of state) from the age of 16 ― and organize hackathons, competitions, and other programs in my spare time.  Some organizations I've founded are showcased on my Initiatives page.

In my free time, I enjoy budget travel, reading, camping, chess, and épée fencing.  Allez!
