Evaluating I-JEPA for Robust Wildlife Classification Under Distribution Shifts on the WILDS Benchmark
This work explores I-JEPA's capability to generalize to a distribution shift using the iWildCam2020-WILDS benchmark.
Machine Learning Engineer
Currently pursuing my Master's degree in Information Systems, my research focuses on Self-Supervised Latent Representations for Robust Generalization in Unconstrained Environments. I am actively seeking a Research Engineer position or PhD position.
Alongside this, I work as a Working Student Full Stack Engineer at Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation and previously gained international experience as a Machine Learning Engineer at CoPilot Innovations in Chicago.
Outside of software and AI, I am active as a volunteer basketball coach and enjoy surfing.
