Hello There!

I am a Data Science graduate with an excellent academic background. I have completed a mathematics curriculum which helped me to develop a profound understanding of the methods behind machine learning models. My passion for mathematics shows the ability to dive deeper into the problems as well as the capacity of solving complex technical questions efficiently. I am excited to use my diverse skills ranging from probabilistic modeling to natural language processing with transformers to reinforcement learning to develop intelligent algorithms for social good.

My Achievements

  • Projects

  • Inference and Structure on Hypergraphs: Incorporating Node Attributes

    Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems - 2023 - Current

    Participated in a research project aimed community detection in hypergraphs.

  • Frank Wolfe for Cluster Detectioon on Hypergraphs

    Optimization for Data Science course, University of Padua - 2023

    Implemented Frank Wolfe variants to solve maximum clique optimization problem on uniform hypergraphs.

  • COVID-19 prediction from X-ray images: explainability

    Human Data Analytics course, University of Padua - 2022

    Implemented advancec neural network architures to detect COVID-19 and pneumonia from X-Ray images. Studied the explainability of the Implemented neural networks and discovered that the network was learning the bias in the dataset.

  • Click Models

    Information Retrieval course, University of Padua - 2022

    Implemented probabilistic click models fron scratch for predicting the relevance oof web search.

  • New Filter App

    Self interest - 2020

    Implemented a web app that filters news by keywords.


  • Education

  • Masters Degree in Data Science

    University of Padua - 2021 - 2024

    Successfully completed the degree with honors.

  • BUCA Summer School

    BiCi in collaboration with Google - 2023

    Top 5% students based on the GPA were selected to participate in the program.

  • Data Analytics Nanodegree

    Udacity - 2020

    Won a Uzbek nationwide competition and received a scholarship to participate in the program.

  • Vyshaya Proba Mathematics Olympiad

    NRU HSE 2015

    Became an awardee of an international Mathematics Olympiad (2nd grade) among high-school students.

Interesting facts

  • I am from Uzbekistan, but my mother is from Armenia. So I speak 6 languages almost fluently (add English, Russian, Italian and French).
  • I studied World Economy in my Bachelors, but I switched to Data Science as I always liked Math.
  • My diverse experiences include economics, finance, security research, translations from English/Russian/Italian, social media management, web development, graphic design, programming, and of course machcine learning and data science in general.
  • I have also completed 2-year professional dress-making courses (I should upload my works soon).
  • I love singing, and I have never understood why would anyone go to a concert (because hey I can sign almost the same).
