Greetings! I am a 4th year Computer Science PhD student at MIT fortunate enough to be advised by Professors
Adrian Dalca and
John Guttag as
a part of the Clinical and Applied Machine Learning (CAML) Group. I am interested
in problems lying at the core of machine learning and computer vision, often with applications to healthcare. I'm very involved in the ML community here at MIT, as a head TA for our Deep Learning course (over 600 students!) and a co-organizer of ML Tea.
My work has been supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
Previously, I studied Computer Science at Cornell University advised by Mert Sabuncu, where I was a Merril Presidential Scholar
for the Computer Science department and a Tanner-Dean Scholar for the School of Arts and Sciences.
I've had the chance to also intern at some very cool places doing cool things!
- Waymo - Inference-time embedding flexbility for 3D object detection.
- IBM - Evaluating relational capabilities of Vision-Language models.
- ASAPP - Exploring alternative state-space models for long-range sequence modeling.
- MILA - Uncertainty quantification for molecule discovery.
- Siemens Healthineers - Biomedical imaging for lung diagnostics.
If you are interested in collaborating, please do reach out!
