Bio

I am a Ph.D. student at Mila and McGill University , supervised by Professor Reihaneh Rabbany and Professor Guillaume Rabusseau . Previously I obtained an Honours in Computer Science from McGill University in 2019. My current research focus on temporal graph learning, specifically link prediction and anomaly detection on dynamic graphs. I also have a broad interest in graph transformers, machine learning for molecules, graph neural networks, disease modelling and continual learning.
