Introduction

I will begin my PhD in the EECS department at UC Berkeley as part of the BAIR program this fall (2024)! I have the privilege of potentially being advised by Prof. Angjoo Kanazawa and Prof. Jitendra Malik. My research interests span a wide range of topics in machine learning and computer vision, and I aim to focus more on robotics during my PhD journey! Previously, I was advised by Prof. Kyoung Mu Lee and worked with Prof. Gyeongsik Moon. I first authored 7 papers out of 11 total papers (ex. CVPR, ICLR, ICRA) and filed 3 patents, most completed during my 2 years in a Master's program. Please refer to my CV for more information.
