I am passionate about machine learning and robotics, and have worked on projects including self-driving vehicles, methods for dark matter identification, and home backup battery systems. As a member of the Masason Foundation I plan to explore new applications of these technologies, which hold great potential to make people safer and more productive in many industries. I’m incredibly excited to take recent advances in AI and apply them to physical systems in the real world. This autumn I am on exchange in Hong Kong completing my last term of study at Stanford.
