About
I am a research assistant at AutonLab, Carnegie Mellon University, where I am currently working on projects related to time-series foundational models and model evaluation with limited labeled data. I received my BSc in Automatic Control and Robotics with an Honors Track on Machine Learning from Poznan University of Technology in 2023. In my free time, I enjoy building open source projects and contributing to the community, playing with hardware, as well as working out outdoors and traveling.
Research
My research interests are focused on leveraging deep learning to solve complex problems across various modalities, including time-series, computer vision, and natural language processing. I place a particular emphasis on improving models’ zero-shot and transfer learning capabilities. My aim is to enhance the robustness of neural networks under uncertain conditions and to increase their interpretability. Additionally, I study the evaluation of machine learning models to ensure their safety and reliability in real-world applications.
