About

I'm Evonne, and I enjoy doing research.

My interests revolve around using computer vision, with an emphasis on multimodal and generative techniques, to investigate how humans interact in social settings. My focus is to enable machines to engage in meaningful, social interactions in an ethical manner.


Bio: I spent 5 years as a Ph.D. student in UC Berkeley's EECS program, where I was co-advised by Prof. Trevor Darrell and Prof. Angjoo Kanazawa. Before all that jazz, I was advised by Prof. Kristen Grauman at UT Austin.

Art

In my free time I do style transfer of pictures irl. It's been a good way to commemorate all the places I've had the opportunity to visit. I've gotten asked if these pieces are AI generated, which I guess is a compliment in this day and age?
