About Me

I am a Computer Science and Engineering Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, working with Prof. Jason J. Corso in computer vision. My current research explores conditional video generation as applied to tasks like video prediction and video frame inpainting.

In 2019, I did an internship at Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. in San Diego. Advised by Dr. Mostafa El-Khamy, I developed a method to apply image style transfer and inpainting models to videos in a temporally-consistent manner.

In 2017, I did an internship at Toyota Research Institute in Cambridge under the advisement of Dr. Simon Stent and Dr. German Ros, where I compared the modeling and generalization performance of multiple state-of-the-art video prediction networks with a novel dataset.

In 2015, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where I received B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. At UMass, I did research as part of the RIPPLES lab under Prof. W. Richards Adrion and Prof. Paul E. Dickson. I worked on various aspects of the lab's Presentations Automatically Organized from Lectures (PAOL) system, including video conversion, whiteboard processing, multithreading, and the graphical user interface. For my Honors Thesis project, I proposed and evaluated a novel technique for segmenting whiteboard marker strokes in real time. Additionally, I was briefly a member of the Center for e-Design under the instruction of Prof. Jack C. Wileden and Prof. Sundar Krishnamurty, where I worked on a program that converted models between Computer-Aided Design systems.
