I'm an applied scientist at AWS AI Labs, working on efficient, scalable, automatic and transferable ML algrithms for AWS computer vision services. I received PhD in Computer Science from University of Maryland, College Park, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Tom Goldstein and Prof. Hanan Samet. My PhD focused on efficient and interpretable deep learning, including model pruning, quantization and loss surface visualization.
