• Developed deep generative models with inductive biases that enable robust generalization from limited data.
• Designed amortized inference methods that characterize uncertainty and scale to high-dimensional problems.
• Evaluated with i) multi-object detection task in videos and ii) multimodal dynamics learning task in time series. Achieved SOTA performance in both generation results and inference results.

• Disentangled representations in healthcare data using energy-based contrastive learning methods.
• Implemented neural architectures in PyTorch. Used this approach to learn representations of images with background noise and detect human activities using healthcare data.

Metro Detroit, US

• Developed energy-based models that learn interpretable representations for large-scale image data.
• Evaluated the learned representations in various downstream tasks including classification, out-of-distribution detection, and kNN. Improved accuracy by 15\% on average against VAE and GAN benchmarks.
