About Me
I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Rochester and an affiliated faculty member of the Goergen Institute for Data Science . My research originates in computer vision and tackles interdisciplinary topics, including video understanding, audio-visual learning, vision and language, and methods for trustworthy AI. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2016.
