I’m currently a PhD Candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department here at Cornell University. I’m advised by Prof Adrian Sampson.
My graduate research focusses on hardware for embedded computer vision. In my work I’ve found that abstractions can simplify the design process, but breaking down boundaries through hardware-software co-design can produce superior results. For this reason I see myself as a system creator rather than a hardware or software developer.
As an entrepreneurial engineer I quickly gravitated to both industrial and academic research. While finishing my M.S. at UMass Amherst I formed Firebrand Innovations as a way of monetizing intellectual property I developed while in highschool. These days I can be found in Cornell’s Computer Systems Laboratory plugging away at code for powerful new computer vision systems.
