About me

Welcome! I am a 2nd year CSE Master’s student at the University of Michigan.

I am fortunate to work with Prof. Mosharaf Chowdhury optimizing large-scale DNN training frameworks for resilience and carbon-efficiency; and with Prof. Xianglei Huang building ML applications for an upcoming satellite mission.

Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee, studying CS & math. I worked with Prof. Audris Mockus, Prof. Mongi Abidi, and Prof. Jian Liu on interdisciplinarity research projects. Our work encompassed self-driving cars, machine learning applications for forensic medicine, remote sensing, and social media analysis. I led a team of 7 CS students and competed in the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge; big thanks to my mentors Dr. Hairong Qi and Dr. David K. Irick.

I plan to pursue a Ph.D. starting in the Fall of 2024, please find my CV here.
