We are so happy to welcome a new undergraduate member of MCL, Eric Huang. Here is an interview with Eric:
- Could you briefly introduce yourself and your research interests?
Hi, my name is Eric Huang and I’m a current senior studying computer science at USC. I’ve been interested in research ever since I started college and the MCL is a lab I’m honored to have been able to join. I previously worked in biomedical and mechanical engineering labs, but machine learning is the field I am most interested in. My research focus is on facial classification and verification, particularly in studying how to streamline the training process. But I think that every new development in AI is incredible and I hope to be able to learn and understand the many aspects.
- What is your impression about MCL and USC?
My impression of USC after three years is that the school is amazing. There are countless intelligent students and professors that form a productive and supportive network. I see the MCL as the pinnacle of what USC can achieve. Everyone in the MCL is highly driven, intelligent, and passionate and I hope to live up to the same standard.
- What is your future expectation and plan in MCL?
My expectation and plan in the MCL are to learn, grow, and hopefully contribute. I plan to study hard and learn everything I can in order to be able to meaningfully help out. I expect to learn a lot from the lab members and to work hard supporting them. And I hope that I am able to form lasting connections with all the talented people I get to work with.
