About Me

I am an AI Research Scientist at Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE), specializing in the applied development and deployment of Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (MADRL) systems to solve real-world challenges. My work integrates advanced AI techniques to improve Data Center Sustainability and optimize operations in practical, dynamic environments. With a Ph.D. in Computer Science, I have translated cutting-edge AI research into impactful applications, including optimizing autonomous systems and enhancing energy efficiency to meet sustainability goals.
