Biography

I am joining the CellGen Lab at Wellcome Sanger Institute (UK) as a Senior Data Scientist working with Dr. Mo Lotfollahi.

Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Helsinki under the supervision of Michael Mathioudakis. My doctoral research focuses on developing theory and methods for low-dimensional representations of graphs, specifically node embeddings, along with their applications to classical learning and mining tasks.

In the past, I’ve spent time at UPF Barcelona, IIIT Delhi, MPI-SWS, IIT Gandhinagar, and TIFR Mumbai. I’m fortunate to have obtained my undergraduate and graduate degrees (majoring in Computer Science with a specialization in Humanities) at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad.
