About Me

I’m a Computer Science and Mathematics student at the University of Connecticut focusing on Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning systems, and working at Dr. Yuan Hong's lab, DataSec as an Undergraduate Researcher.

My work spans research, infrastructure AI, and applied ML systems, with experience building:

  • Vision Transformer (ViT) models
  • Pose-based Person Re-Identification systems
  • AI-driven transportation analysis models
  • Quantum computing applications for financial risk
  • Edge AI systems on Raspberry Pi

I enjoy building real-world AI systems that combine research and deployment.
