- Conducted leading-edge research in Deep Learning, identifying emerging research challenges and opportunities in the field. Facilitated research direction and idea exchange by hosting a weekly paper reading group.- Designed and executed extensive experiments to validate hypotheses, resulting in 10 published papers at top AI conferences (NeurIPS, ECCV, AAAI, ICASSP, MobiCom). Effectively communicated research findings through concise, well-written academic papers and conference presentations.- Supported course instructors by organizing weekly class recitations, grading assignments, and holding office hours. Mentored and assisted over 200 students in foundational and advanced Computer Engineering courses.

- Developed a groundbreaking method to safeguard user images from identity theft and copyright infringement when exposed to generative diffusion models.- Demonstrated exceptional performance of our proposed approach, surpassing the existing state-of-the-art protection methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.- Achieved remarkable efficiency gains with a 150-fold increase in processing speed compared to existing solutions, while simultaneously reducing memory consumption by 2.6 times.

- Led end-to-end development of an ML pipeline for data collection, labeling, and DNN model training, enabling efficient ID card information extraction. Guided the launch of a company-wide in-house ID product benefiting over 10 million users.- Spearheaded standardization efforts across AI datasets and models, resulting in a 50% reduction in ML Life Cycle time.- Implemented a secure in-house server for data labeling, successfully processing and annotating 20,000 high-quality data points, yielding over $100,000 in cost savings. Simultaneously, enhanced Optical Character Recognition model performance by 10%, achieving competitive levels.

- Installed, upgraded, maintained, and ensured smooth operation of over 100 PCs, Macs, printers, projectors, and mobile devices.- Provided top-notch customer support and resolved client issues in person, via phone, and remote desktop connections for more than 100 staff and faculties with a wide range of technical backgrounds.- Performed diagnostics and troubleshooting system issues, documented help desk tickets/resolutions, and maintained equipment inventory lists.

- Planned a 7-day-long orientation program for more than 2000 international students.- Helped more than 1000 new students integrate into American academic culture via social events.
