Hello!

I am Samar (pronounced as Summer or /ˈsʌmə(ɹ)/), a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. I work under the supervision of Prof. Alejandro Ribeiro. I look for (theoretical) puzzles and try to solve them. Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I don’t. I curently solve distributed optimization on large scales.

Reach out at selaraby (at) seas (dot) upenn (dot) edu.
