About me
- I am currently an applied scientist at Amazon AWS.
- I was a PhD student at the University of Toronto in the Machine Learning and Computer Vision group since January 2017, supervised by Prof. Raquel Urtasun. Additionally, I was a research scientist at the Uber Advanced Technologies Group in Toronto, also led by Prof. Raquel Urtasun, from May 2017 to February 2021.
- Before this, I obtained my MSc. in Computer Science in the same group.
- My research interests include computer vision and various related machine learning techniques.
- I completed an undergraduate degree in 2013 at the University of Waterloo in Electrical Engineering with a focus on high frequency circuits, electromagnetism, and communication systems.
- My CV is available here.
