Background
An incoming CS Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland, College Park. I take great interest in Deep Learning research, specifically self-supervised representation learning and deep generative modeling. I care about making models broadly applicable by ensuring robustness, sample efficiency, and interpretability.
Miscellany
Interested in visualizations, photography, and cinema.
