đź‘‹ Hello there!
I work at the Computer Vision Lab at University of British Columbia with Dr. Leonid Sigal and Dr. Renjie Liao. My interests lie in multimodal vision-language models, time-series models, and commonsense reasoning. Currently, I am an intern at Borealis AI, working with Dr. Fred Tung.
In addition, I am a photographer in the city. I enjoy doing landscape and product photography. My work has over 100 million views on Unsplash. You can find my latest work on Instagram.
If you are reading this, I would love to talk to you! I am always looking for opportunities to collaborate. Also, my inbox is open if you have any questions about student life at UBC or Vancouver. Message me on Instagram or send me an email.
