Hello! 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.
