About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Stanford University ASL group, working with Prof. Marco Pavone. I obtained my Ph.D. at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Kilian Q. Weinberger and Prof. Bharath Hariharan. My research interest lies in visual understanding of the world, including 3D perception and multi-modal learning, combining visual data with other sensory inputs to enhance environmental understanding.
I am fortunate to have been supported by a Cornell University Fellowship, an Nvidia Graduate Student Fellowship, and an American Association of University Women (AAUW) Dissertation Fellowship Award. Before joining Cornell University, I had the pleasure of working on a variety of topics including applied machine learning, deep reinforcement learning, and applications of natural language processing.
