Theoretical Physics by day. Computational headaches by night.
I’m Dora. I build models to understand how the universe works and write code to prove myself wrong.
This is a minimal space for my formal papers, my side-projects, and the half-baked ideas that are currently keeping me awake.

• Research Sep 15, 2025 On the Convergence Properties of Stochastic Gradient Descent with Adaptive Momentum

  We analyze the convergence behaviour of SGD variants equipped with adaptive momentum terms, establishing tight upper bounds under non-convex smooth objectives.

• Idea Jul 22, 2025 Why the Loss Landscape Metaphor is Misleading

  Most visualizations of loss landscapes are 2D slices of astronomically high-dimensional spaces. Here's why that matters and what we should think about instead.

• Project Jun 1, 2025 spectral-pruner

  A lightweight library for pruning neural networks based on spectral analysis of layer weight matrices.

• Project Mar 10, 2025 torch-lanczos

  GPU-accelerated Lanczos algorithm for computing top-k eigenvalues of the Hessian during training.
