About Me

Hello! I am a PhD student in the Computer & Information Science & Engineering at the University of Florida. I am interested in exploring ways to make Machine Learning trustworthy, fair, and safe. I have explored explainability and fairness aspects of Machine Learning to make it fair. I hope to continue exploring this area in future.

I majored in Computer Science from Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) and graduated with a minor in Mathematics in 2014. At AUT, I worked on research projects about use of reinforcement learning in mobile networking. In my free time, I enjoy reading biographies, cross stich and ride my bike.
