Pedram Akbarian
I’m a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Texas at Austin, working with Prof. Nhat Ho.
I am interested in scalability and efficiency of large-scale machine learning models, with a specific interest in Mixture-of-Experts, Federated Learning, and Optimization by bridging theory with practical applications.
Prior to UT, I recieved my bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Tehran, Iran.
