Aryo Lotfi

I can usually be found in my office MA B2 534 at EPFL.

I’m Aryo, a third-year CS PhD student at EPFL advised by Emmanuel Abbe. At the moment, my research interest lies at the intersection of theory of deep learning and understanding/improving reasoning capabilities of neural networks.

Before my PhD, I studied computer engineering at Sharif University of Technology in Iran. Prior to that, I also competed in math Olympiads such as IMO. Maybe that can explain my interest in both theoretical and practical aspects of ML :)
