I’m Ryien (IPA: rɑːjin, Persian: رایین), a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago, where I am advised by Hank Hoffmann and Rebecca Willett.

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and dynamic systems. I am broadly interested in developing adaptive machine learning algorithms, or algorithms that dynamically adjust their behavior in response to changes in input data distribution or attributes, performance constraints, changing levels of supervision, and other evolving factors.

Previously, I was a Predoctoral researcher at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility at Argonne National Laboratory, working with Venkatram Vishwanath and Filippo Simini to develop and scale graph neural networks (GNNs) for diverse scientific applications.

I received my M.S. through the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Michigan, where my focus was on machine learning, systems, and computational biology. Prior to attending graduate school, I received my undergraduate degrees in computer engineering (B.S.E.) and cognitive science (B.S.), also at the University of Michigan.
