About Me

Hi! I recently obtained a Masters in Machine Learning and Data Science at UC San Diego, April 2022. I have been researching computer vision at the Statistical Visual Computing Laboratory for 5 years. My passion is applying software engineering to cutting-edge ML/AI research, towards solving challenging real-world problems.

In my research, I have focused on various topics including 2D/3D detection, domain adaptation, autonomous vehicle navigation, GANs, 3D reconstruction, embeddings, self-supervised learning, efficient ML, and explainable ML. For details, please see the projects page.

Previously, I earned a Bachelors degree from UC San Diego in Computer Science. More details can be found in my resume.
