Hi all,
As you may know, I have recently graduated with a MSc in Computer Science at U of T under the supervision of Joseph Jay Williamshttp://www.josephjaywilliams.com/. My research focused on developing multiarmed bandit algorithms (reinforcement learning) which balance statistical inference and reward maximization and validated these methods in online educational experiments. I also worked on designing and analyzing randomized experiments in online education.
Prior to working with Joseph, I interned at IATSLhttp://www.iatsl.org/ where I applied deep learning (mostly computer vision) to assistive technology.
In general, I have a strong background in applied statistics, machine learning, experimentation, and applied research, and am hoping to find a job where such skills are relevant. You can find more information about me here:

Please let me know if you have any advice, connections, or opportunities that you can provide. Is anyone up for chatting and giving advice? Who do you recommend I talk to?
Thanks,
