About me

I am a Data Scientist at Valuement Group, specialising in optimising business processes through Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies.

Previously, I earned a PhD in Computer & Information Sciences from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow (United Kingdom). My research (thesis available here) explored the intersection of Data Science, AI, and Information Retrieval, with a particular focus on modelling and understanding user behaviour in the music and podcast domains. I was supervised by Dr Yashar Moshfeghi, Professor Crawford Revie, and Dr John Levine.

My primary research interests are:
  • Recommender Systems
  • (Deep) Reinforcement Learning
  • Information Retrieval
