About Me

Where mathematics meets intelligence

loss(θ) = -Σ yᵢlog(ŷᵢ) G = (V, E), |V|=n σ(x) = 1/(1+e⁻ˣ) ψ(x,t) = Ae^{i(kx-ωt)} ∀ε>0, ∃δ: |x-a|<δ ⟹ |f(x)-L|<ε

I'm a Computer Science student at Baku State University (SABAH group) pursuing a dual degree at Holon Institute of Technology, Israel. My academic journey sits at the intersection of pure mathematics and applied artificial intelligence.

My research interests span machine learning theory, computer vision, graph algorithms, and the fascinating geometry of origami tessellations — where abstract mathematical structures reveal surprising computational properties.

I've competed at ICPC Azerbaijan Regionals, placed at Robotex Eurasia & Turkey Championships, and earned recognition from the Rector of Baku State University. I believe rigorous mathematical thinking is the foundation of trustworthy AI.

I've participated in multiple hackathons and innovation competitions, including the Viveka Creation Program by Pasha Holding and the Innovation Agency, and pitched projects at FICS 2024. I'm passionate about translating research into practical, impactful solutions.

Previously worked as a Technician at BSU TETYM, where I conducted data analysis and built dashboards to support research-driven decision making.
