Hey, I'm Apoorv! I'm a second-year CS PhD student at Brown, where I'm very fortunate to be advised by Chen Sun & Ellie Pavlick. I am supported by Brown's Presidential Fellowship. My current research interests are at some intersection of computer vision and natural language processing. Previously, I had the great pleasure of working as a PYI on PRIOR at the Allen Institute for AI and with Noah Snavely & Hadar Averbuch-Elor as an undergrad at Cornell. Check out some of our work below!
