Biography

I am a data enthusiast with four years of experience in industry as a data scientist and software developer plus three years of experience in research as a PhD researcher and Marie Skłodowska Curie fellow in ML for Wireless Communication. I have both theoretical and practical knowledge of working with Machine Learning and RF Sensing and Communication in development and production environments. Since Jan 2023, I have been doing research at Nokia Bell Labs on AI/ML applications for Wireless Communication especially WiFi and 5G/6G.
