I am a Ph.D. student in computer science at the University of British Columbia, supervised by Michiel van de Panne.

I am a M.Sc. student in computer science at the University of British Columbia, supervised by Jim Little and Leonid Sigal. My research is mainly focused on computer vision and machine learning.

I did my B.Sc. in computer engineering at Sharif University of Technology.

Experience
Research Intern at Borealis AI
Supervisor: Lili Meng
Investigated the advantages of integrating probabilistic prediction and selective prediction (or prediction with reject option) for regression tasks. Implemented SelectiveNet (Geifman et al., ICML2019), and altered the prediction modules to probabilistic prediction modules (code is available here). Designed and executed numerical experiments on large computer clusters for classification and regression tasks.
