I am a 4th year PhD Candidate in the CEI Lab in the ECE program at Duke University advised by Prof. Yiran Chen. My research aims to improve the robustness of deep learning models by leveraging hierarchical class relationships. My current focus is on advancing open-set / out-of-distribution detection and continual learning methods.
