I'm a joint Ph.D. candidate at the ISG - Intelligent Systems Group (University of Siegen) in Siegen, Germany and the ADReM - Adrem Data Lab (University of Antwerp) in Antwerp, Belgium, working on model selection and automation in recommender systems. Generally, my research interests revolve around Recommender Systems, specifically applying ideas from AutoML (Automated Machine Learning) to information retrieval and recommender systems.
