I am currently a Data Scientist at Ericsson, and will soon be re-joining Microsoft as a Senior Applied Scientist! I earned my PhD from KTH, where I was supervised by Prof. Aristides Gionis and Prof. Alexandre Proutiere. My research focuses on designing approximation algorithms for graph problems and improving the computational efficiency of statistically efficient bandit algorithms.
