For my most recent updates about my publications and projects, please visit my personal website: https://ryanchankh.github.ioI am a fourth-year Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD student at University of Pennslyvania, advised by Prof. René Vidal. I am also a NSF Graduate Research Fellow and Dean's Fellow. I received my BA in Applied Mathematics from University of California, Berkeley and was a research assistant at Prof. Yi Ma's group. After my undergraduate studies, I was also a machine learning researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Lab.My main interests lie in the intersection of theory and application for interpretable machine learning. The goal is to develop frameworks that simultaneously provide the flexibility to define what is semantic or interpretable to the user and achieve competitive performance against state-of-the-art on complex Vision and Language tasks. I also have strong interests in applying interpretable machine learning to biomedical domains. Through theoretically-sounded and empirically-verified algorithms, we may develop methods that are not only safe and fair for practical uses, but also insightful and explanable for future scientific explorations.
