I received M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence from University of Amsterdam in 2015 under supervision of Ted Meeds. Before that I completed my B.Sc in Informatics from Telkom University, Bandung, Indonesia.

While doing my master, I had a chance to work as research assistant (March 2014 - Feb 2015) in Data Science Research Center Amsterdam, working with Ted Meeds on a project called “Machine Learning in the Browser”. In the summer 2014 (July - Oct), I also did internship at Booking.com and was advised by Thanasis Noulas and Frans Oliehoek.
