I am a post-doctoral researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, hosted by professor Ali H. Sayed. I hold a PhD degree in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, where I had the privilege of being advised by professor Soummya Kar. Broadly, my interests lie in signal processing and machine learning. More specifically, I study theoretical guarantees of both centralized and large-scale multi-agent learning systems, in the presence of phenomena such as heavy-tailed noise and statistical heterogeneity between different users’ datasets.

If you have any questions about my research, feel free to reach out.
