Yuehaw Khoo

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Physics at Princeton University, advised by Amit Singer in The Program of Applied and Computational Mathematics. My research focuses on the application of convex programming relaxations to protein structural calculation and to graph matching problems in computer vision.
