I am a PhD candidate in the Center for Reliable Machine Learning at Royal Holloway University of London working with Professor Chris Watkins.
Prior to this I was a research associate in VIDA Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering where I worked with Professor Juliana Freire on DARPA Memex and D3M projects. Before joining NYU, I did a summer internship with Microsoft Research and Cloud AI Group in Redmond.
My areas of interest include machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning. More specifically my current research is in modular deep learning with goals of learning from less data, ensuring explainability and enabling transfer learning while constantly striving towards the holy grail of artificial general intelligence.
Joined the interdisciplinary project, between computer science and law and criminology departments, on applying AI to nurse regulatory decision making in complaints about nurses in the US, UK and Australia. Further details of the project can be found HERE.
Co-chaired the ECML PKDD 2020 workshop on Parallel, Distributed and Federated Learning.
My poster, AlphaD3M: Machine Learning Pipeline Synthesis, was selected for presentation at the Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning Summer School 2019.
Our poster, Agent-based Modelling of Collective Algorithms Implementable by T Cells, was selected for presentation at the Mathematics in Life Sciences (MiLS) Meeting on Modelling Challenges in Cancer and Immunology at King's College London in summer 2019.
Our paper, Automatic Machine Learning by Pipeline Synthesis using Model-Based Reinforcement Learning and a Grammar, was accepted to AutoML workshop at ICML 2019.
Selected for and attended the Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning Summer School 2019 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in summer 2019.
Co-chaired the ECML PKDD 2019 workshop on Decentralized Machine Learning at the Edge.
Our paper, AlphaD3M: Machine Learning Pipeline Synthesis, was accepted to AutoML workshop at ICML 2018
Co-chaired the ECML PKDD 2018 workshop on Decentralized Machine Learning at the Edge.
Received 3rd Prize (among 70 teams) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering Research Expo 2017 for presenting our DARPA Memex work. It was covered by the local Technical.ly, Brooklyn.
Mentored the 2nd Place winning team in End Human Trafficking Hackathon, 2016, organized by Manhattan District Attorney’s (DANY) office in partnership with Cornell Tech.
