Hi, I am currently a PhD student at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) co-affiliated with Medical Genomics group led by Prof. Matthew Robinson and Data Science, Machine Learning, and Information Theory group led by Prof. Marco Mondelli.
Prior to my current studies, I obtained a Bachelor degree in Mathematics and Master in Mathematical statistics from University of Zagreb, Department of Mathematics.
My research interests lie at the intersection of mathematically grounded ML, numerical mathematics, software development and genetics applications.
My hobbies include hiking and running, also when I have time I try to volunteer by preparing and giving lectures in competitive mathematics to gifted students from my old high-school and at MNM summer
camps.
