My research interests include: Machine Learning, Data Mining, and Applications. I teach a broad range of courses in Computer Science, Programming, Machine Learning, and Data Mining. I supervise Bachelor, Master, and PhD students. Whenever I have time I like solving real-world problems in context of commercial data science projects.
