About
I am a post-doctoral researcher at EPFL, working with Prof. Ali H. Sayed. I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Prof. Soummya Kar. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Applied Mathematics from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad.
Research Interests
My research spans stochastic optimization, machine learning, and multi-agent systems. I seek to understand what performance guarantees are achievable in learning systems under challenges such as heavy-tailed noise, data heterogeneity, and communication constraints, and how to design algorithms that attain these guarantees. I pursue this agenda in two main directions:
Robust and reliable stochastic optimization
Understanding and improving the performance of stochastic optimization methods beyond classical noise assumptions, with an emphasis on robustness and individual-run reliability.
Collaborative learning over heterogeneous networks
Understanding the benefits and limitations of collaboration among learning agents in the presence of data heterogeneity, communication constraints, and decentralized information exchange.
