Research Interests

My research interests revolve around theoretical development and practical application of statistical and Machine Learning methods, particularly in the context of Green AutoML. It is a field dedicated to developing environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient automated machine learning algorithms. I aim to leverage these techniques within industrial contexts to drive innovation across a variety of applications.
