• Machine Learning Research Intern

  • Jun 2022 - May 2023

  Burlington, Massachusetts, United States Machine learning research internship for Signify's Research Americas division, focusing on computer vision and 3D modeling. Primarily explored and identified lighting-based applications of implicit neural rendering techniques, in particular those using neural radiance fields (NeRFs). Wrote and tested code built on the NeRF development platform Nerfstudio to examine the capacity for NeRFs to be adapted toward these applications. Assisted with benchmarking the output of a trained generative… Show more Machine learning research internship for Signify's Research Americas division, focusing on computer vision and 3D modeling.

Wrote and tested code built on the NeRF development platform Nerfstudio to examine the capacity for NeRFs to be adapted toward these applications. Assisted with benchmarking the output of a trained generative adversarial network (GAN) on a secondary project. Assisted in a smaller capacity on multiple other projects with identifying novel machine learning use cases, writing invention disclosures, and other general aspects of intellectual property generation.
