About

I am a Junior in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, where I used to work with Jia Deng in the Vision and Learning Lab and currently work with, Jenna Wiens in the MLD3 Lab. My primary research interests lie in the intersection of machine learning and medicine along with computer vision. In my spare time, I like to watch basketball and football as well as learn new math concepts (currently interested in Galois theory and algebra, in general).

I am the co-President and Organizational Chair of The Michigan Student Artificial Intelligence Lab, a student group on campus that focuses on the dissemination of key ideas of machine learning and artificial intelligence, old and new. We hold lectures, demonstrations and paper discussions to deepen our understanding of these mystical mathematical concepts.
