I'm a Research Scientist and Engineer, expert in advanced statistics, with experience and interest in Privacy Preserving Recommender Systems—with use cases in the ads domain, forecasting systems, and anomaly detection—and other ML areas such as Reinforcement Learning and Generative Models. My other theoretical research interests lie in statistical learning theory, high-dimensional probability, and information theory.I'm currently an Applied Scientist at Amazon AWS AI Labs. Formerly, I was a Research Scientist at Meta. I'm a PhD candidate at Caltech, currently on a leave of absence, and prior to that, I received my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University and Sharif University of Technology, respectively.
