Bio

Hi! I am a Research Scientist at Snap Research in Palo Alto, where I work on generative models. My team and I are looking for interns. Feel free to reach out to me directly as well!

Before joining Snap, I was a postdoc at Stanford CS and the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance where I worked closely with Prof. Serena Yeung, Prof. C. Karen Liu, and Prof. Scott Delp. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Toronto advised by Prof. Rich Zemel.

Professional Experience

I was

  • an intern at Google Brain (MTV, TOR) in 2018 hosted by Chung-Cheng Chiu. We worked on speech recognition together.
  • a research student working with the Toronto Raptors’ analysts Keith Boyarsky and Eric Khoury. My mom likes to believe that the Toronto Raptors getting better, and eventually winning the Championship in 2019 had something to do with my research. πŸ€”
  • a ML consultant at SmartFinance LLC, a start-up Rich co-founded. We had some fun trying to make finance easier with ML.
