Who am I?
I am building the future of Computer AI with my amazing team at Vercept. Previously, I was a senior research scientist @ Ai2 and got my Ph.D. from Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science at University of Washington (RAIVN Lab). My research interest is in the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and robotics (aka. embodied AI).
