James Wang

I am a fourth year student at Columbia University studying Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. I'm interested in computer vision, machine learning, and computational biology, and my current research focuses on how we can develop more secure and robust deep learning models. If you are interested in these things as well, let's chat!
