About Me
Hello! I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, where I work as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Video and Image Processing Laboratory (VIPER) supervised by Professor Fengqing Maggie Zhu. My research focuses on anomaly detection in images, where I explore methods to identify irregularities or defects in visual data, leveraging techniques from computer vision and machine learning to improve accuracy. Prior to this, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Purdue University in 2024.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have one year of professional software development experience, gained through internships at Siemens Digital Industries Software and Kinze Manufacturing. During these roles, I worked on developing software solutions, optimizing workflows, and gaining hands-on experience in real-world engineering applications.
Outside of academics and work, I enjoy staying active through sports, enjoying time with friends, playing musical instruments, and continuously finding new ways to challenge myself.
