I am a Computer Science PhD student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I am advised by James Rehg and Judy Hoffman within the School of Interactive Computing. My research interests are in computer vision & perception for understanding human behavior. I am excited about developing video and multimodal recognition models that understand people and the way they interact with each other and the world around them. I am grateful to be supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
I graduated from Indiana University in 2020 with a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.M. in Clarinet Performance. At IU, I did research in the Music Informatics Lab and Computer Vision Lab and developed an interest using AI for modeling naturalistic behaviors - from practicing an instrument (and making mistakes), to interacting and conversing with other people. I have also spent 2 summers interning at Google, where I worked on deep learning for diagnosing skin conditions and scene understanding for Nest Cams. Most recently I interned at Meta Reality Labs on the Audio Team, where I worked on multimodal models for conversation behavior.
December 2023 - Check out Ego-Exo4D, a multi-institution dataset effort that captures simultaneous egocentric and exocentric views of human activities!
February 2023 - Our paper Egocentric Auditory Attention Localization in Conversations was accepted to CVPR 2023! Check out the project page.
May 2022 - Excited to be interning at Meta Reality Labs Research this summer!
April 2022 - I was awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship!
February 2022 - Ego4D was accepted to CVPR 2022!
October 2021 - Introducing Ego4D, a massive, international egocentric dataset and benchmark effort! Glad to have been a part of the social benchmark team and to have led the data collection effort at Georgia Tech.
July 2021 - Our paper Big Self-Supervised Models Advance Medical Image Classifications was accepted to ICCV 2021!
