I’m a Ph.D. student in Machine Learning Department at CMU advised by Eric Xing and a co-founder of Carnegie Mellon AI+.
Research interests:
Sequential decision making, multi-task learning, deep learning, explainable models.
Applications in healthcare, natural language, multi-agent systems, and general AI.
I got an M.Sc. in Computer Science from KAUST where I worked with Khaled Salama and collaborated with Gert Cauwenberghs on neuromorphic approaches to machine learning. Before that I studied Physics at Lomonosov Moscow State University and Data Analysis at Yandex School of Data Analysis.
Besides my professional activities, I am a member of Carnegie Marathon Club, love doing sports and hiking in beautiful places. Also, I grew up in Moscow. Feel free to talk to me in Russian.
