Why AI
I've been hooked on AI for about three years.
It started when I wanted to understand how these models actually work, not just use them. Once I started learning, I didn't want to stop.
What excites me most now is generative AI, especially what it can do in creative fields like film and music. Below is the path so far. Follow the footsteps.
The path so far
From courses to models of my own.
Summer 2026·Project
My own diffusion model
DDPM, built myself
I built a denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) that learns to turn pure noise into new images of butterflies, one denoising step at a time.
Summer 2026·Internship
CaptureLab
AI startup · Machine learning internship
I built models for automatic data labelling, so the team could label training data with far less work by hand.
The path ahead
Where I want to go next.
Next·Research
AI research
As a research assistant, or on my own
Next I want to get into AI research, either helping out on a professor's project or chasing questions of my own. I'm already talking with a few professors, and I'm pretty optimistic about what's coming.
Down the road·The real world
Systems people rely on
Out of the notebook, into the world
In the long run I want to build real systems that matter outside a lab. A self-driving car that's completely safe? Something that makes healthcare more personal and easier to get? Whatever it ends up being, I'm excited for it.
And the trail keeps going.
The range · 02 · Dolomites
Alta Via 2
In 2023 my family went to the Dolomites in northern Italy, and we hiked the Alta Via 2. It was super pretty.
The mountains there are unlike anywhere else I've been. Instead of smooth, snowy peaks, they're jagged towers of bare rock, all cracks and sharp edges.
It was also very dangerous. In some places the trail was only about three inches wide, slanted and slippery, and right to our left was an enormous drop of about 1,000 feet.
It was really scary. Afterwards my whole family agreed we were very lucky to make it out of there alive.
