Tanush Yadav

Hi! I'm a first-year PhD student at the University of Washington. I'm extremely fortunate to be advised by Ali Farhadi and supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I work on video understanding at Ai2. I also teach deep learning at UW.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, listening to music, and learning about our world.
