Spring 2025 will be my final semester in UMD's Combined BS/MS program, and I'm so excited to use what I've learned over the past few years to make a real impact!
do I have interests?
Aside from creating AI tools, studying deep learning, and developing webpages (like this one), in my free time I love to...
Create art | digital illustration & oil painting are my faves!
Design & 3D print cool things w/ my Bambu Labs P1S!
Run | as a former track athlete that doesn't run enough anymore...
Play video games | Minecraft, Apex Legends, Genshin, and more
pursuing research interests in:
Generative AI
I'm a Computer Science Master's Student at the University of Maryland (UMD). I love applying what I study to create impactful tools that show the amazing potential of technology to engage and assist everyone! Check out the links below and look through this site to find out more. Thanks :)
Course research project for CMSC848K - Multimodal Foundation Models. Developed a multi-modal multi-agent system and investigated how to improve multimodal large language model (MLLM) benchmarking.
An implementation of Monte Carlo path tracing and Disney "principled" BRDF in PyTorch. An extension of an assignment codebase from CMSC740 - Advanced Graphics course. Implemented advanced computer graphics concepts such as Monte Carlo integration, neural radiosity, and multiple importance sampling. As a final project, I also implemented the Disney shading system in the existing renderer with fine-grained control of object appearance using 10 parameters.
A demonstration of using retrieval augmented generation and structured outputs through OpenAI API. Exploring how AI can be used to help us learn, automatically creating and testing us on custom uploaded knowledge from documents and webpages.
Semester-long course project created for CMSC720: Foundations of Deep Learning. Investigated state of the art diffusion-based video generation
methods, and experimented with various approaches to improving their quality in terms of consistency and controllability. Wrote and submitted
a NEURIPS format paper for a mock-conference within our class.
This is a virtual reality (VR) project created in the Unity game engine throughout the Spring 2024 semester for the course CMSC838C: Advances in XR.
I led a group of 5 classmates to design a virtual classroom environment, and we conducted a user study to investigate the benefits of XR education
over traditional remote learning mediums such as video.
To illustrate a potential application of AI models to benefit artists, I created a prototype "AI art advisor" using the latest vison-language model GPT-4o ("omni") from OpenAI. This new GPT model now has vision capabilities, so, I was inspired to ask the question: how well can it understand art?
