Deep learning might currently be one of the few technologies that has a great transformative potential for us all. To advance deep learning, I think one of the most important aspects is to understand the technology very well. Such an understanding should be accessible to as many people as possible. Thus, I am excited whenever I have the chance to work on something that fosters this understanding or makes it available to more users.

Work

Postdoctoral Researcher, Carnegie Mellon University (Oct 2023 - Present)

Research and development of tools in the areas of AI evaluation and prompt engineering.

Research Scientist, Sigma Computing (Oct 2022 - Jun 2023)

Bringing data and analysts closer together with the help of visualization and AI.

Research Intern, Apple Machine Intelligence (Mar 2021 - Sep 2021)

Designed and developed a framework for component-based ML interfaces which can be composed in different environments such as computational notebooks and web dashboards.

Research Intern, Google TensorBoard (Jun 2020 - Sep 2020)

Designed and implemented a visualization approach for a novel bias detection algorithm. This visualization is designed to support large label spaces and multilabel classification problems.

Research Intern, Google PAIR (May 2019 - Aug 2019)

Invented and experimented with a technique similar to Feature Visualization, but for language models.
