Hi! I'm Ayana Mussabayeva.
This is my personal website ayana.best — I am not the best, but it was the cheapest available domain, and it's kinda fun! I am an AI/ML enthusiast and researcher. When my work performance is low, I go perform as stand up comedian, humiliate myself and go back to work!

Currently doing research at MBZUAI, Abu-Dhabi
Currently I'm pursuing a PhD in Machine Learning at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence. My main research interests now cover causal representation learning, brain data analysis, causal AI and medical applications of AI.
I am also working as a Head of Engineering on contract basis at a startup GreenEye Ltd, where I contribute to the vision of the product and lead multiple engineering teams.
