I study the theoretical foundations of machine learning.
I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, supervised by Shai Ben-David. Before that, I completed an MSc in Computer Science at York University, supervised by Ruth Urner, and a BSc in Electrical Engineering at Sharif University of Technology.
Worked under the supervision of Arash Afkanpour on medical vision-language representation learning and large-scale data curation. The resulting papers are Advancing Medical Representation Learning Through High-Quality Data and Open-PMC-18M.
Worked under the supervision of Sivan Sabato on eliciting explanations from large language models. This work is in preparation.
