Hi, my name is Kimia. I’m a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, advised by Dr. Babak Taati. I work on AI for healthcare and computer vision, and I’m a Faculty Affiliate Researcher at the Vector Institute and a Research Appointee at UHN.

I completed my M.Math in Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo with Dr. Karen Yeats and worked with Dr. Paul-Hermann Balduf on machine learning for Feynman period estimation. My Master’s thesis is available here, and our work is published in the Journal of High Energy Physics.

About Me

I grew up in Waterloo, Ontario and now live in Toronto. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, taking hikes with my dog, and playing Tetris.
