About Me

Biography


All of my papers are dedicated to honorable mathematician Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman with the outmost admiration and respect for his honesty and uncompromising academic integrity. "It is not people who break ethical standards who are regarded as aliens. It is people like me who are isolated. Of course, there are many mathematicians who are more or less honest. But almost all of them are conformists. They are more or less honest, but they tolerate those who are not honest". Remarkable excerpts quoted from him in the online article.

My name is Masoud Badiei Khuzani. I am currently an independent researcher. I was a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University. My research at Stanford was focused on mathematical and practical aspects of machine learning and artificial intelligence. I received my PhD degree in applied mathematics from Harvard University (Sep. 2014-July 2018), where I did research on topics related to optimization on Riemannian manifolds, and non-convex optimization method. I received my MSc degree from The University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, in 2013 where our research group worked on information theory and communications research topics. At UW, I was very fortunate and honored to collaborate with Professor Patrick Mitran.
