Bio

I am a first-year Ph.D. student supervised by Dr. Jiliang Tang at Michigan State University (MSU). Before joining MSU, I did my M.S. at Dartmouth College. I also graduated summa cum laude in Computer Science at Texas Christian University.

I am broadly interested in graph-related problems. My area of specialization is at the intersections of Machine Learning on Graphs, Relational Deep Learning, and Topological Deep Learning. In the past, I had opportunities to participate in Computer Vision projects, specifically Vehicle Re-identification and 3D Object Detection.
