Niki is a DPhil student in the Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems (AIMS) CDT program at Oxford supervised by Professor Andrew Zisserman. Her research focuses on developing foundation model capabilities for visual understanding of the open world. Through her work, she has contributed to open-world object counting and uncertainty estimation in Neural Radiance Fields, both sub-fields of computer vision.
In addition to pursuing her DPhil at Oxford, Niki consults with industry on computer vision and deep learning on the side. In the past, she has worked on research and development in phased array antenna theory, robotics, and computer vision at Amazon's Project Kuiper and (before that) at SpaceX's Starlink constellation.
Niki received her undergraduate degree in computer science from Cornell University's College of Engineering in Ithaca, New York.
