Welcome!
Hello everyone! I’m a second year Ph.D student at University of Toronto working with Prof. Ashton Anderson. My research interests broadly lie in machine learning and data mining, in particular data-driven social science, knowledge representation learning and reasoning, neural-symbolic reasoning, and recommendation systems. Besides research, my passion for sports has always been an integral part of who I am, with basketball, badminton, and billiards ranking high on my list of favorites. Always eager to connect with fellow sports enthusiasts and academicians, I look forward to getting to know you all!
