About

Hi, I’m Kevin, a Research Scientist at Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) at Meta (formerly Facebook). My research interests are in deep learning and computer vision, these days primarily 3D. Before Meta, I was at Duke University, where I completed my PhD while advised by Lawrence Carin. During my PhD, I interned at Google Cloud AI (2017), Infinia ML (2018), and Facebook (2019).

I co-taught a number of machine learning courses while at Duke, including the Duke Introduction to Machine Learning Coursera, four Duke Machine Learning Schools, and numerous +Data Science In-Person Learning Experiences. As part of these courses, I created a set of TensorFlow and PyTorch tutorials.

Before graduate school, I was also at Duke, earning my BSE in 2015 while double majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. As an undergraduate, I was able to work on image processing with Guillermo Sapiro and brain-computer interfaces with Leslie Collins. Outside of research, I was a member of Sabrosura, Duke’s premier Latin dance troupe, and enjoyed playing Ultimate frisbee. I also enjoy mentoring: I’ve mentored and advised many students over the years through Engineering a Community, Engineering Alumni Council, and E-team. I currently serve as an interviewer for Duke undergraduate admissions.
