Bio
My specific research objectives involve bridging the gap between Operations Research
and Machine Learning via computational methods and analyis. I have previously completed projects
in time series forecasting and stochastic modelling, notably involving Hidden Markov Models. I also
hold some conference publications, specifically in the field of Operational Research.
I am currently working on research related to deep learning, specifically bridging the gap
between Deep Learning and Operations research. Also, I'm intereted in Reinforcement Learning and Stochastic Processes.
Furthermore, I have experience in building production grade machine learning pipelines at scale
for eCommerce and Ad-Tech industries.
