I am also currently working with Prof. Ahmed Sayed at Queen Mary University of London on mutual information based federated learning*, Prof. Manogna R L on ML for sustainable finance and developing AI compute capabilities for databases at e6data.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, gaming, binging shows (at 1.95x) and learning the lyrics to what's on the radio. @eigengravy most places on the internet.
I have an Erdős number of 4.
