“To know how much there is to know is the beginning of learning to live.” —Dorothy West

I am a Ph.D. student at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas, working in the Multimodal Signal Processing (MSP) Laboratory on developing machine learning algorithms for studying expressive behavior. My research topics include emotion recognition, self-supervised learning, multimodal modelling, handling missing modalities, and audio and video signal processing. Part of the team collecting the largest spontaneous speech emotion dataset based on real-world podcast audios.
