Short Bio
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University. Prior to joining Purdue, I was a Research Assistant Professor at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC).
I completed my Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) advised by Prof. Alexander Schwing and Prof. Minh Do. I received my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from UIUC working with Prof. Mark Hasegawa-Johnson.
I am interested in research relating to machine learning and computer vision. My research focuses on developing algorithms to learn and design effective models across several domains including audio, vision, language, and multi-agent systems.
