I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT. I am very fortunate to be advised by Professor Patrick Jaillet in the Laboratory for Information & Decision Systems (MIT LIDS). I am broadly interested in machine learning theory, statistics, and optimization. My current focuses are deep learning theory (optimization and generalization) and causality.
Prior to MIT, I eared a B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. During my undergrad, I was a research assistant at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) under supervision of Professor Bernhard Schölkopf and Professor Stefan Bauer. Besides, I spent a couple of months working with Professor Martin Jaggi at EPFL.
