Li Ding | 丁立
I'm a 2nd-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UMass
Amherst CICS, advised by Prof. Lee
Spector. My research interests are evolutionary algorithms,
deep learning, computer vision, and quantum computing.
Previously, I was a Research Engineer at MIT, working on
autonomous vehicles and human-centered AI with
Dr. Lex Fridman and
Dr. Bryan
Reimer. I was also an ASP graduate
student at
MIT EECS, and
TAed a few courses (including
6.S094). Prior
to that, I was a Research Associate at the
University of
Rochester, working on video action recognition with
Prof.
Chenliang Xu.
