About Me
I am a PhD student in the Image and Video Computing (IVC) Group at Boston University. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Kate Saenko and Professor Bryan A. Plummer. I am broadly interested in deep representation learning that is robust against bias and spurious correlations. My hope is to improve the tools for both understanding and mitigating deep learning models' pitfalls.
Outside research, I enjoy road biking, cooking, and photography. You can check out some of the Boston moments captured by my camera here.
