About Me


I am an undergraduate student currently working as a Research Assistant under the supervision of Dr. Greg Mori at Simon Fraser University . I've worked on many different topics in computer science but my main interests lay in Computer Vision, specifically machine learning and image processing. I take machine learning algorithms and apply them to create systems that are used to solve various real world problems.
