Prospective students with their own funding are encouraged to reach out. Please provide a brief overview of your research interests and academic background. I am particularly interested in the following areas:

• Hierarchical Time Series Forecasting
• Forecasting Large Collections of Time Series Data
• Explainable AI for Time Series Forecasting
• Forecast Reconciliation
• Graph Neural Networks for Time Series Forecasting

If you have a specific project or concept in mind that aligns with my research interests, please include it in your introduction. 

While I have a particular interest in time series forecasting and its various aspects, I am open to exploring other related topics within the field of machine learning.
