Hi! I am a undergraduate student at the University of Washington majoring in Computer Science and Math (love taking history classes too). I currently work as a research assistant at RAIVN Lab
under Prof. Ali Farhadi and Prof. Ranjay Krishna. I work closely with Aditya Kusupati and Matt Wallingford.
I am broadly interested in improving understandability and efficiency of vision and language models. I am also interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and social/natural sciences.
I experimented with Video-Language Models as drop-in replacements for reward functions during training on environments such as MountainCar and CartPole.
CodeI worked with two classmates to create an experimental Visual Question Answering dataset with future shifted images generated using Stable Diffusion 2.0.

I contend that the Detroit Riots of 1967 were primarily caused by the decentralization of Detroit's automobile industry in the decade prior. [PDF]
