Biography

I am a Research Scientist at Google AI in Mountain View, California, working on machine learning research.

Previously, I was a PhD student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University. My PhD research focused on developing algorithms for machine learning, mainly focused on semi-supervised learning, curriculum learning, multitask learning, and graph-based problems. I am also passionate about applying machine learning methods in neuroscience, in order to study how the brain understands language and controls speech.

Before I joined CMU, I graduated with an M.Phil. in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Cambridge, UK. In my Master's thesis I used Machine Learning methods to detect and align chromosomes in microscope images, advised by Prof. Pietro Lió.
