UCSC Computer Science PhD Student

Professor of Mathematics Emeritus (Bakersfield College)


Research Interests: My research interests are in machine learning (ML), especially deep

learning, semantic segmentation, image understanding, deep reinforcement learning,

computational perception, and mathematical theories of consciousness. But now I need to start

focusing in a particular direction, which is difficult since every direction seems fascinating!
