I am a fifth year PhD candidate in the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University advised by Prof. Greg Mori. I also work closely with Prof. Leonid Sigal. During my PhD, I have done research internships at Facebook AI Research (where I worked with Michal Drozdzal and Adriana Romero Soriano) and Borealis AI.

My research revolves around computer vision and machine learning, and I am currently focusing on video analysis and activity understanding.

I also enjoy playing the fiddle. Check out my music on YouTube or Instagram!
