Research

I am passionate about developing machine learning systems capable of robust, general, human-like visual perception. I have extensive experience in training and evaluating deep learning models, and am also proficient at designing and conducting online human psychophysics experiments. For deep learning, I have primarily used PyTorch and TensorFlow to train both discriminative and generative models (with PyTorch Lightning, Hugging Face Accelerate, Keras) and evaluate them (with ART, model-vs-human, pyrtools). I leverage tools such as lab.js and PsychoPy for human experiment design, and platforms like Prolific, Pavlovia, and Amazon MTurk for participant recruitment and data collection.
