Hi there fellow geek 👋 I am Richeek
I am currently a First-year CIS PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. I specialize in understanding and working with different sensing modalities. This requires me to work in pretty diverse fields: Computer Vision, NLU, 3D Vision, Causal Inference, Compressed Sensing, Human-Computer Interaction, and more... I keep on trying to decide on a sub-domain to focus on, but problems with real-world applications of AI/Stats are too many to ignore! So for now, I'll continue to pretend that I work on Interdisciplinary AI :)
I always look for exciting research opportunities, so do drop by if you want to discuss!
I live on the internet.
