Jean de Dieu Nyandwi
I am Jean de Dieu Nyandwi. I work on machine learning and multimoda AI. I recently completed MS Engineering AI at Carnegie Mellon University. I have had a fortune to work with Prof. Graham Neubig and other amazing people at CMU, mostly working on evaluation and compositionality in visual language models. I also have interests in AI education and accessibility, and I spend a fair amount of time designing, exploring, and sharing learning resources.
I did undergrad in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at University of Rwanda, majoring in machine learning on the side. Prior to that, I achieved the top score, country wide, in Advanced Level National Examinations in Electronics and Telecommunication, senior highschool.
Beside technical works, I regularly workout, mostly resilience training and calisthenics, some basketball, and walks sometime.
