Principal Data Scientist at Yeji Datalab, with a focus on transforming supply chain operations by building and deploying efficient and high-performant ML models.

Previously, I completed a Ph.D. in the LiNC Lab at University of Toronto, studying biologically plausible deep learning algorithms.
Living in Toronto, Canada.

I am interested in researching state-of-the-art machine learning models, extending ML models to novel learning domains, and using existing models and techniques to provide useful solutions to real world challenges.
