I am a final-year PhD student at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), advised by Peter Richtárik. My research focuses on optimization for distributed machine learning and private federated learning.

During my PhD, I spent time at Apple and Samsung AI Center (Cambridge, UK), where I worked on heterogeneous, efficient, and personalized federated learning.

I am currently on the job market.

Apart from research, I am also passionate about hiking/backpacking, alpine skiing, and rationality.
