About me

I’m a first-year PhD student at CU Boulder in the IVC Group, advised by Prof. Danna Gurari. My research focuses on the intersections of Computer Vision and Multi-Modal Learning, with applications in assistive technologies and coffee analytics.

I have worked as a Research Assistant with Prof. Jiawei Zhang on parameter-efficient finetuning in Vision-language models and gained experience in Multimodal Learning in breast cancer classification and segmentation while working as a research assistant under Prof. Chen-Nee Chuah. Additionally, I was a founding member of RoastPic with Prof. William Ristenpart, focusing on morphology and color analysis of coffee in LAB spaces.

Beyond my research, I earned my Q certification in 2020, which recognizes my ability to assess Specialty Coffee quality worldwide. The stereotypical combination of coffee and the outdoors (and the Boulder stereotype) has also influenced me, and I have embraced outdoor activities a lot more in recent years. I now spend a lot of time in the mountains, hiking, skiing, and photographing.
