I received my MS in Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University, advised by Dr. Wei-Lun (Harry) Chao. I led OSU’s AutoDrive team as Perception Team Lead and Team Captain. My masters project was also with the AutoDrive team, specifically on the Perception Pipeline Integration for Autonomous Driving. I am interested in practical applications of computer vision and machine learning, with a focus in autonomous driving.
Previously, I completed my BS in Computer Science and Engineering also at The Ohio State University. During my undergrad, I led both the Artificial Intelligence Club and the Competitive Programming Club starting as a regular member during my first year, becoming more involved in various roles, guiding the direction of the club as President, before finally stepping down and acting as Student Advisor providing strategic direction to the next team of student leaders.
