Amirali Rayegan
PhD Candidate at NC State

Hi, I'm Amirali

Machine Learning Researcher

I'm a student. A student in science, visionary AI, statistics, and lastly I'm researching Machine Learning application in Software Engineering with Dr. Tim Menzies. Currently, PhD research takes up almost all my time. When I find some spare time, I play tennis and Chess. Like a Lot!!
