Portrait of Jorge Diaz ChaoSignature of Jorge Diaz Chao

I graduated from Physics and Computer Science at UC Berkeley. I work with incredible mentors Konpat Preechakul, Yutong Bai and Alexei Efros at the intersection of Computer Vision and Machine Learning, fields I love for their deep connection to intelligence and their transformative potential.

I am particularly interested in models that discover structure directly from nature and building tools smart and intuitive enough to blend into everyday life as natural extensions of ourselves.
