About me
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam, jointly in the MultiX lab (Informatics Institute) and Amsterdam Business School. I am supervised by Dr. Stevan Rudinac and Prof. dr. Marcel Worring, with business-research guidance from Dr. Monika Kackovic and Prof. dr. Nachoem Wijnberg. My research specializes in Multimodal Agent and Agentic AI and , with a focus on multi-agent collaboration, utility-aware retrieval, and context engineering to solve complex, real-world business challenges.
I have a proven track record of applied research in industry. Most recently, I was an Applied Scientist Intern at Amazon, where I researched LLM alignment and safety. Prior to that, I was a Machine Learning Scientist Intern at Booking.com, where I applied Supervised Fine-Tuning to enhance geographic representations for large-scale hotel recommendation systems.
Before starting my PhD, I did my Master’s in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam (Cum Laude). Before that, I did my Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering at Shenyang Aerospace University.
