Well hello there! 👋

I am a PhD student at Arizona State University under the supervision of Dr. Huan Liu. My work revolves around the intersection of Machine Learning, Data Mining and Social Science. My research draws inspiration from models tackling generalization and distributional shifts. I am also interested in community structures.

Prior to this, my Masters work revolved around Geospatial Big Data at ASU’s DataSys Lab. My Masters thesis proposes an Explanation Framework for Mobility Datasets.
