Hi Everyone,
I'm an Assistant Professor at University of Texas at Dallas broadly working on machine learning.
- I did my Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2015.
- I then worked at Microsoft from 2015 to 2019 as a Senior Research Scientist
- I joined back Academia in 2020.
I have had the pleasure of closely seeing both academia (I.e. more of a focus on research and teaching) and industry (more of a focus of real-world impact and problem-solving). This has drastically changed the way I view teaching and research. I strongly believe in basing my teaching and research on real-world problems and applications, and this is the approach I take now.
On this channel, I will upload videos of my courses: Machine Learning, Optimization in Machine Learning and some Advanced ML courses. I will also upload some more recent and state-of-the-art aspects of machine learning, particularly topics that are aligned with my research. I will try to make content accessible to everyone!
