As you may know, I have recently graduated with a MSc in Computer Science at U of T under the supervision of
Joseph Jay Williams. 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
IATSL 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.

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,
