About me

I am a researcher in the field of big data analytics and large scale systems. Previously, I was a machine learning scientist at the University of Oxford (2017-2018) and a senior researcher at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (2014-2017). I got my PhD on "Gossip-based algorithms for information dissemination and graph clustering" from KTH in May 2014.

My research interests include:

  • Machine learning and deep learning for representation learning
  • Generative models and causal inference
  • Data clustering
  • Graph analytics
