About me

I’m a first-year PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder in the Image and Video Computing Group, advised by Prof. Danna Gurari. My research focuses on building vision-language models that understand hierarchical object compositions, with applications in visual grounding and accessibility.

Before coming to Boulder, I earned my bachelor’s degree from UC Davis, where I co-founded RoastPic with Prof. William Ristenpart and our wonderful team at the UC Davis Coffee Center. I also had the chance to work with Prof. Jiawei Zhang, who introduced me to research in vision-language modeling and video quality assessment.

Outside of research, I’m really into coffee and the outdoors. I’m a certified Q Arabica Grader and enjoy exploring specialty coffee around the world. If I haven’t replied in a while, I’m probably somewhere in the mountains.
