I am currently a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University College London (UCL), affiliated with Web Intelligence Group (WI) at UCL Centre for Artificial Intelligence (UCL AI Center). I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Emine Yilmaz and Nick Craswell. Prior to joining UCL, I obtained an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Zanjan (ZNU), where I was advised by Prof. Mohsen Afsharchi and Dr. Mitra Baratchi (co-supervisor from Leiden University) and worked on context-aware recommender systems.
I am interested in creating machine learning algorithms that can make strong decisions in complex environments while continually learning new skills. My goal is to develop models that can handle a variety of new tasks with minimal supervision. I am also focused on making these systems reliable, trustworthy, and aligned with human goals.
