Current Research Interests

I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in the ECE department at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Minh N. Do. I am studying how multiple sensing modalities can integrate into an AI model (multimodal learning) and how such a model can be applied to multiple tasks (generalization). I believe multimodal generalizable models are crucial for the future of AI due to their ability to abstract to different tasks and domains, similar to the multisensory abilities of human intelligence. I am currently working with wearable sensor data, focusing on the challenges of interpreting continuous, real-time data to understand human motion and behavior. I have had various graduate level internships, at companies such as Netradyne and NVIDIA, and have published/presented work at the IEEE Conference on Robot-Human Interaction (ROMAN) 2022.
