The harder you work, The luckier you get

Gary Player

I am currently a Ph.D. student (1st year) in Computer and Information Sciences at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA working with Prof. Zoran Obradovic. Before that, I completed my Integrated Master (5-year degree) in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece. My research interests span across multiple areas of machine learning, including - but not limited to :) - Information Retrieval and Knowledge Discovery, with a focus on developing methods to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets. If you are interested in collaborating or working with me, you are more than welcome to reach out!
