Biography
I am a PhD student at the Unversity of Toronto and Vector Institute supervised by Professor Rahul Krishnan. Our lab mainly studies machine learning theory with applications in computational healthcare. Previously, I completed my MSc in Computer Science with the same lab, as well as my BSc in Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Toronto. I also worked as a qunatitative researcher at TD Asset Management for two years after undergrad.
Research
My current main research project is improving probability density estimation and generative modelling using probabilistic graphical models. Overall, I am interested in machine learning methodology, trustworthy AI, and ML for quantitative finance.
