I am a PhD student at UToronto and Vector Institute with Kostas Plataniotis and Yuri Lawryshyn. Previously I was a research engineer at Valence Labs with Emmanuel Bengio and an AI Resident at Google X with Lam Nguyen. I completed my M.A.Sc at UToronto with Kostas Plataniotis and Yuri Lawryshyn.
My research focusses on building broadly capable models of multiple modalities that behave similar to humans, i.e. collect and learn their own data. Towards this interest, I develop and interpret unsupervised post-training algorithms with applications in science and engineering.
