About me
I am an undergraduate researcher and web developer at the University of North Carolina - Charlotte, actively contributing to cutting-edge projects in the High-Performance Computing (HPC) Lab under Dr. Dong Dai and the Machine Learning (ML) Lab under Dr. Srijan Das. My work in the HPC Lab focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence for synthetic dataset generation and job trace analysis in computing clusters, while my research in the AI Lab centers on temporal action detection in videos. Additionally, I have co-authored papers published in JSSPP’24 and IPDPS'24, and my work is fueled by an unwavering passion for creating impactful solutions and building innovative web applications.
