Department: Computer Science Faculty Adviser: Jia Deng Year of Study: G3 Undergraduate School: Columbia University Undergraduate Major: Computer Science
Hi, I'm Shmuel! I grew up right here in New Jersey, although NYC has my heart. Before Princeton, I studied Computer Science at Columbia University. During my undergrad, I did research program synthesis, or the ability to generate programs according to an pre-defined specification, and later transitioned to artificial intelligence. I love hiking, reading, linguistics, and all things horror-related.
A panda gave me a high-five at the San Diego zoo!
I study perception, memory, and reasoning in vision-language models, with a particular interest in the visual and embodied capabilities required for robust interaction with the physical world, like robotics. I am interested in finding new methods that are domain-agnostic to improve long-horizon performance on language modeling and robotics.
Interested in participating in Summer 2027 ReMatch+ program.
