Hello! I am a first-year PhD student in the ECE department at UT-Austin, and I am advised by Prof. Hyeji Kim. During my years as an undergraduate and master's student in the ECE department at UW-Madison, I was advised by Prof. Dimitris Papailiopoulos.
My research interests lie at the intersection of information theory and deep learning. I am interested in model and data compression, and methods for efficient training and inference of deep learning models.
I have many interests and I hold an appreciation for culture-rich music. My interests and hobbies include weight training, nutrition, reading, running, biking, and playing drum set. I enjoy listening to and learning about music of the African diaspora, namely the music of Cuba and Brazil.
