Building real-time personalized visual recommendation systems.

Fully redesigned the visual similarity system used in providing alternative product recommendations, including an additional feature to capture visual motifs. Created multiple large-scale visual datasets to aid in the development of proprietary computer vision models.

Research Assistant at the CS Computer Vision Lab led by Dr. Kristen Grauman, with research focus in the areas of computer vision, machine learning, and data mining.

Summer research intern in the eRL computer vision team.

Organized lab sessions, taught lab lectures, held office hours, and graded assignments for at least 1 course every semester: Elements of Electrical Engineering (ELEC 101), Fundamentals of Computer Engineering (ELEC 220), Digital Logic Design (ELEC 326), Introduction to Engineering Computation (CAAM 210).

Research in the Center for Multimedia Communication lab under Dr. Joseph Cavallaro.• Research project focusing on the VLSI implementation of 4x4 MIMO detection algorithms for spatial multiplexing using the WARP boards.

2 summer internships as an engineer in the Hardware R&D Department.Group: Conditioned Measurements (Summer 2010)• Researched and learned about resampling algorithms.• Implemented custom DSP filtering algorithms to perform resampling on the C-Series modules while minimizing resources.Group: PortableDAQ (Summer 2009)• Designed and implemented the hardware code for a 24-port Logic Analyzer on a programmable C-series module in VHDL.• Wrote testing software using LabVIEW and presented a working demo of the Logic Analyzer.
