Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™m Sinclair, and Iโ€™m currently pursuing a Masterโ€™s of Applied Computing at the University of Toronto. I complete my degree requirements in December 2024 and will receive my diploma in May 2024. Iโ€™m doing research with NVIDIA, exploring self-supervised learning for autonomous vehicles. In May 2023, I completed my Bachelorโ€™s of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, with 6 internships.

My current (2024 Q3) research interests include:

  • ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Self-supervised learning and unsupervised learning
  • ๐Ÿš™ Robotics (specifically autonomous vehicles)
  • ๐Ÿ”Š ML for audio (specifically spoken language processing)
  • ๐ŸŽจ AI for creative and artistic applications

More generally, Iโ€™m interested in exploring creative research ideas that redefine problems or disrupt entrenched approaches. Iโ€™m most excited by research driven by real-world problems, not benchmarks.

Iโ€™m not interested in the following research topics:

  • ๐Ÿช– weapons or defense technology
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ recommendation algorithms that exacerbate social media addiction
