Quick Intro
Currently doing a research fellowship at National University of Singapore (NUS) at the NeXT Lab under Prof. Tat-Seng Chua and Yunshan Ma.
Completed a M.Sc at Université de Montreal (MILA) — see my thesis here!
My research interests include: Graph Neural Networks (GNN), Fairness, and Music Recommender Systems
I’m also organizing a fairness in information retrieval reading group: DEFIRST
