Work Experience

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Vision Lab (May’21 – June’22)

• Advised by Dr. Alex Wong and Dr. Stefano Soatto
• Interested in 3D vision and adversarial robustness
• Proposed a framework to optimize a single set of adversarial perturbations from a dataset for stereo matching networks generalizable across networks and datasets which can increase D1 error of state-of-the-art stereo networks from 1% to approximately 87%.
• Investigating architectural defenses to improve robustness of networks to adversarial perturbations by 60.5%.
• Exploring networks for removing outliers from sparse depth maps generated using lidar
