About Me

I am an MSc. student studying Machine Learning at MBZUAI. I studied Software Engineering for my Bachelor's Degree at Addis Ababa University.

My Interests

My interests lie at the intersection of Machine Learning and Computational Neuroscience. I am primarily interested in biologically-plausible neural networks and learning algorithms.
