- I like to call myself a scientist! A quantitative one, I like to use machine learning tools to understand the world or vice versa!
- I have broad science interests and have spent some time exploring them. Now, I am passionate about the Economics of AI and quantitative Marketing, using machine learning, maths, and statistics tools to solve problems in social sciences.
- My most recent research focuses on the Economics of AI and how to use Machine Learning models for better goods for humans. I work with brilliant professors and researchers like Avi Goldfarb and Ryan Webb.
We focus on how to use uncertainty to improve AI adoption in home-sharing platforms.
- I have done research works in generative models, natural language processing (NLP), MCMC and sampling methods, and reinforcement learning. In another life, I was working on the next generation of telecommunication approaches (5G at the time).
- I am interested in impactful research and projects.
- If you have similar interests and have a project that I can help with or collaborate on, do not hesitate to contact me via email or DM on Twitter. (rozhina dot ghanavi at rotman dot utoronto dot ca).
