Biography

I am a DPhil student in the Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems (AIMS) CDT program at Oxford supervised by Professor Andrew Zisserman. My research focuses on developing foundation model capabilities for video understanding in the open world. Through my work, I have also contributed to open-world text-specified object counting and uncertainty estimation in Neural Radiance Fields.

In addition to pursuing my DPhil at Oxford, I consult with industry on computer vision and deep learning on the side. In the past, I have 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.

I received my undergraduate degree in computer science from Cornell University's College of Engineering in Ithaca, New York.
