    Projects and Research Interests

    I am working on Machine Learning and Neural Network models to process text, images, audio, and sensor data. The idea is to utilize additional information such as data attributes to learn representations that can be used in tasks, such as infromation retrieval or classification.

    In the BigData@Geo project, we work with climate data, so time series and geospatial data. Our goal is to help the geography department to improve climate modeling using Machine Learning.
