I am a Faculty Associate in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Previously, I was a research associate at the University of Regina in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science (worked with Prof. Kin-Choong Yow), the Department of Computer Science (worked with Prof. Sandra Zilles), and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (worked with Prof. Allen Herman and Prof. Shaun Fallat). In 2015, I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Regina under the supervision of Prof. Allen Herman and Prof. Shaun Fallat. However, I have been doing research in Computer Science (Machine Learning/Deep Learning and Computational Learning Theory) since May 2018.

Research

Machine learning/artificial intelligence, computational learning theory, computer vision, natural language processing, reality-based algebras, Hopf algebra, and representation theory.
