I am a 5th-year MS student in EECS at UC Berkeley, advised by Professor Narges Norouzi. I work on video understanding in service of AI for education, and am also the Head GSI for EECS 189/289A. Previously, I was a student researcher on Google's XR Perception team.
My research interests include representation learning, multimodal fusion, and data-efficient learning.
I remain eternally grateful for Vongani Maluleke's kind mentorship and guidance, and for the support of my family and friends.
