About

Graduated with the highest honors from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering and currently pursuing a Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Developed a strong foundation in algorithm development and point cloud processing, with a focus on robotics and AI. Most recently worked at ITRI, where the team integrated a novel camera-LiDAR calibration algorithm using the Segment Anything Model (SAM), reducing calibration time significantly. Designed a Gaussian Splatting projection algorithm to automate dataset preprocessing for model training, enhancing workflow efficiency. Dedicated to solving real-world challenges through innovation and collaboration.
