PhD Student - Explaining Deep Vision Models

I am doing my PhD at York University under the supervision of Dr. Kostantinos Derpanis where I am doing research in explainable computer vision with a focus on image and video understanding tasks. I am currently a research intern at Toyota Research Institute on the machine learning team and a faculty affiliate researcher at the Vector Institute . Previously I was the Lead Scientist in Residence at NextAI from 2020-2022.

I completed a Bachelors of Applied Science (B.A.Sc) in Applied Mathematics and Engineering with a specialization in Mechanical Engineering at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. After graduating from my Bachelors degree, I worked at Morrison Hershfield as a mechanical design engineer (in training). I designed buildings, labratories, and condos, with a team of other mechanical, evironmental, electrical, and control engineers. I then obtained my M.Sc at the Ryerson Vision Lab in August 2020 under
