<p>
I am a Senior Research Scientist at <a href="https://ai.google/" target="_blank">Google Research</a> in Mountain View, California, working on machine learning research.
</p>
<p>
Previously, I was a PhD student in the <a href="http://www.ml.cmu.edu/" target="_blank">Machine Learning Department</a> at <a href="http://www.cmu.edu/" target="_blank">Carnegie Mellon University</a>, co-advised by <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom/" target="_blank">Tom Mitchell</a> and <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bapoczos/" target="_blank">Barnabàs Pòczos</a>.
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.
Previously, I did some research in Computer Vision, with the goal of detecting and tracking objects in videos.

Before I joined CMU, I graduated with an <a href="https://www.cst.cam.ac.uk/admissions/acs" target="_blank">M.Phil. in Advanced Computer Science</a>
from the <a href="https://www.cam.ac.uk/" target="_blank">University of Cambridge</a>, UK.
In my Master's thesis I used Machine Learning methods to detect and align chromosomes in microscope images,
advised by <a href="https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pl219/" target="_blank">Pietro Lió</a>.
