In 2016, I graduated with an M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the University of Toronto where my research was mainly about instance segmentation. Then I spent a year in Chicago to work on generative modeling with Prof. Alexander Schwing while being a student at Northwestern University. Since December 2020, I have been working at Apple on on-device multitask networks and more recently multimodal LLMs.
