About
I am a Ph.D. student in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, advised by Prof. Jiangchuan Liu. I started my Ph.D. in 2023.
My research spans applied artificial intelligence and networked systems, with a recent focus on Physical AI for challenging field environments.
I am a core technical contributor to the SalmonVision collaborative, where we develop deployable ecological AI pipelines for wild salmon monitoring and stewardship.
