I'm currently a Research Scientist at Facebook Feed Ads team since June 2017, working on deep learning based computational advertising.
I'm enthusiastic in designing Machine Learning algorithms to solve real world, practical problems. My research experience covers Computational Advertising, Information Retrieval/Data Mining, and Computer Vision. I'm also very interested in Natural Language Processing.
