Hello!

I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland at College Park, where I am advised by Prof. David Jacobs and Prof. Tom Goldstein. In May 2019, I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from Harvey Mudd College. In May 2021, I received my master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland. I am broadly interested in computer vision and deep learning research. Lately, my research focuses on adversarial examples and the benefits of adversarial training.

I am fortunate to have been selected as an Amazon Lab126 Diversity in AI Fellow for the 2021-2023 academic years.

In my free time, I enjoy running, building physical computing projects, and developing apps for iOS.
