Hello! I recently completed my M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Dayton, OH, working in the Vision and Mixed Reality Lab with Prof. Tam Nguyen on computer vision, multimodal learning, and generative AI. Before that, I spent three years as a backend software engineer at Shopee, an experience that makes me care about methods that hold up outside the lab, not just on benchmarks. My recent work uses generation both as a tool for models — synthesizing adverse weather to stress-test perception — and as a subject of study in itself, from detecting AI-polished reviews to building an open-source AI coding tutor.

I am open to both research and engineering opportunities where these interests meet.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
