My area of focus is on designing deep learning models for multi-modal data. Specifically, my typical methods use natural language to emphasize semantic differences or the emotional characteristics of depicted objects in visual data. I recently spent a great year being a Research Scientist working for the Creative Vision team of Snap Research. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science Department of Stanford University for my work done with the Geometric Computing Lab under the supervision of Leo Guibas. In the past, I interned at the Facebook AI Research Lab in Menlo Park and, before that, at Autodesk Research in San Francisco. A few years back, I was a research assistant in the Haussler Lab at UCSC and an Erasmus scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tüebingen, DE.
