Hello!
I’m a 4th year PhD at NYU CILVR working with Pavel Izmailov, Yutong Bai and Amir Bar.

I’m interested in vision, world models, search and planning!
Some interests include:

  • Capturing visual information while removing noise via learned representations.
  • Improving world model efficiency, consistency and structure.
  • Using search to improve high-dimension and long-horizon planning!

Previously, I worked on visual representation learning, often for videos.

I received my Master’s working with Richard Zemel and my BASc in Engineering Science (Robotics) from the University of Toronto.
My work is supported by NSERC PGS-D.

I also love to eat, cook, drink coffee (ultralights; pourover, soup), and recently, drink wine.

Feel free to reach to me at anw2067 [at] nyu.edu
