I am a Senior Applied Scientist at Amazon Search (formerly known as A9). I work on deep learning ranking models in Information Retrieval, from ideation and development to evaluation and launch, for the next-generation of Amazon Search.
Before that, I was an Applied Scientist at Microsoft Ads (MSAN). I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science at UCSC where my research was mostly concentrated on machine learning, online learning, combinatorial optimization, and learning of structural concepts and combinatorial objects. I was honored to work under the supervision of Prof. S.V.N. Vishwanathan and Prof. Manfred Warmuth. For a short term after my PhD, I visited Kyushu University and collaborated with Prof. Eiji Takimoto and Prof. Kohei Hatano working on Boosting algorithms in combinatorial settings.
