About Me

Learn more about my research interests, goals, and what I do outside of school and work.

Research Interests

My research areas are in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Human-Computer Interaction.

I aspire to utilize computer science as a force for social good. More specificially, I am interested in the topics of machine fairness, social bias, and human-centered machine intelligence.

I build tools and applications to support people who are facing social injustice and to raise awareness of the biases against them. I want to utilize the potential of machine intelligence and interactive graphics for supporting underrepresented groups.



Goals

My short term goal is to specialize in Artificial Intelligence during my master's studies at Stanford University. I want to focus on learning how to apply AI and ML to solve real-world challenges.

In the long-run, I want to become a software engineer and build fair and accessible products that would tackle unsolved human needs.

Hobbies

Outside of school and work, I enjoy outdoor activities with my family and friends.

Skiing

Hiking

Dancing

Travelling
