Bio

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Visual Intelligence for Transportation (VITA) lab at EPFL advised by Prof. Alexandre Alahi. I am interested in advancing the perception pillar of autonomous agents, where agents are able to perceive and understand their surroundings.

Other interests include game development, hiking, and camping.
