I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student at the department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, fortunate to be advised by Andreas Krause and Peter Bühlmann. I am a member of ETH Institute for Machine Learning and associated with the ETH AI Center. I work on Theory of Machine Learning, often in the context of Sequential Decision-making and Meta-learning.
I completed my M.Sc. at ETH, under the supervision of Andreas Krause and Fanny Yang, with a thesis on Contextual Neural Bandits. Before coming to ETH, I did a dual B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Sharif University of Technology. My thesis was on Visualizing Adversarial Attacks on Convolutional Neural Networks, which I wrote with Nassir Navab and Federico Tombari at TU Munich.
My work focuses on improving sequential decision-making algorithms in high-dimensional domains via
