Description: PhD candidate, Optimization for Machine Learning
Currently, I am a Ph.D. student enrolled in the program Applied Mathematics and Computational Science at KAUST . I work under the supervision of prof. Peter Richtárik .
I am from the Slovak Republic; I lived there until I received a bachelor’s degree in Informatics on Comenius University . With a background in both Mathematics and Computer Science, I wanted to contribute to research as soon as possible. Hence I enrolled in an MSc./Ph.D. program at KAUST.
In my spare time, I like to play collective sports. My favorite is ultimate frisbee due to the fair play spirit of the game. Back in Slovakia, I represented the Slovak youth national team.
