I am a Research Scientist at Weaviate as a member of the Agents team.
I am interested in the intersection of AI and Databases: What new capabilities should Databases have to support AI? What new capabilities are enabled within Databases because of AI?
My recent work on Weaviate’s Agents team has mostly been centered around the Query Agent: an AI-powered search, question answering, chat, and research system. At the core of the Query Agent lie innovations in agent-database co-design, text-to-SQL, query writing for search, reranking, context management, and hallucination detection. In addition to my engineering work, I have led four research publications.
I have hosted 147 episodes of the Weaviate Podcast, totaling over 500,000 views across YouTube and Spotify.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Florida Atlantic University in 2023, where I was advised by Taghi M. Khoshgoftaar. During my Ph.D., I was generously supported by the South Broward Hospital District. My Ph.D. research was focused on Data Augmentation for Deep Learning and applications in COVID-19 prognosis.
