About Me

I am a 2nd year Computer Science MS Student at UC San Diego graduating this June. For the past 3 years, I have researched at the Laboratory for Intelligent and Safe Autmobiles advised by Dr. Mohan Trivedi where I have studied applications of deep learning and AI for safe autonomous driving. Starting in June 2024, I started research at SU Lab and am studying ways to enhance pretraining strategies to improve generalization capabilities of robotic vision-language action models. My primary research interests lie in large language models, object detection and tracking, and multi-modal foundation models, primarily applied for real-time systems such as autonomous driving & robotics.

In my free time, I am an assistant coach for the UC San Diego Men’s Club Basketball Team, collect vinyls, run, and watch football and basketball (Go Lakers and 49ers!). I also have mentored high-school students pursuing AI research projects through Polygence.

Update: Starting in May, I’ll be joining NomadicML in San Francisco to work as a Founding Machine Learning Engineer. Here, I am working on developing foundation multimodal models for ultra-specific autonomous driving video analysis :)
