I am a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering at Northeastern University, working with the Machine Learning group @ SPIRAL supervised by Professor Jennifer Dy. My current research interests include continual learning, adversarial attacks, and leveraging them for transparent and interpretable machine learning. Additionally, I have worked on unsupervised 3D reconstruction and classification, time-series forecasting and implicit neural networks.

Previously, I worked as an AI and ML consultant with Endress+Hauser, Germany. I completed my Masters in EE at the Robotics and Computer Vision lab at KAIST, South Korea, under the supervision of Professor In So Kweon. I worked on occlusion‐robust vehicle re‐identification, and on utilizing adversarial attacks for understanding deep networks with relevant publications.

Besides my academic interests, I enjoy community service and reading biographies.

Research Interests

  • Self-supervised continual learning
  • Adversarial attacks for robust and interpretable ML
  • 3D object detection, representation learning and reconstruction
  • 2D object detection, segmentation and tracking
