I am a PhD student jointly at IRLab and PCS research groups at the University of Amsterdam. I am working on "Efficiency and scalability of search recommendation ", and I am supervised by Andrew Yates and Ana-Lucia Varbanescu.
I completed my Master's degree in digital electronic systems at Amirkabir Univeristy of Tehchnology, Tehran, Iran in 2020. My Master's thesis was about Persian language modeling using transformers. Before my master's, I finished my Bacheolors in electrical engineering at Amirkabir Univeristy of Technology in 2017.
Research
I am passionate about building tools and systems and enjoy collaborating with a large team on large-scale software projects. In particular, I am interested in the efficiency and scalability of large-scale problems in AI. Either through data and algorithmic efficiency by dataset sampling, dataset distillation, and model distillation or by performance analysis and applying parallel computing techniques.
