About


I am a researcher passionate about applying machine learning to advance cancer research and improve patient outcomes. Currently pursuing my MSc in Artificial Intelligence at City, University of London, I work as a Research Associate at UCL Cancer Institute, where I develop ML models for cancer evolution and treatment resistance prediction. My research interests span reinforcement learning for oncology, distributed machine learning systems, and biomedical AI applications. Previously, I was a researcher at Twitter, where I worked on large-scale distributed training systems and recommendation models serving hundreds of millions of users.
