I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at MBZUAI.
My research interests are in stochastic optimization for machine learning, including distributed and federated training, derivative-free methods, variational inequalities, robustness, privacy, and high-probability guarantees.
Before my faculty appointment, I held Research Scientist and Postdoctoral Fellow positions at MBZUAI, and I obtained my PhD at MIPT under the supervision of Alexander Gasnikov and Peter Richtárik.
