Hello! I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student at the University of Central Florida’s Center for Research in Computer Vision (CRCV). My research advisor is Dr. Mubarak Shah.

I am currently working in continual/class-incremental learning, but I am also interested in cross-domain few-shot learning and explainable AI!

I received my B.Sc in Computer Science and my B.Sc in Mathematics from the University of Central Florida in 2021. I also was a member of the UCF Programming Team, placing 2nd in the Mercer Spring Programming Contest under team UCF Requiem.
