Ozan Bayiz

I'm a fourth-year Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar at UC Berkeley studying Computer Science. I'm interested in exploring efficient video model adaptation for multimodal conditioning, and applying these techniques to support AI-enhanced learning.

These days I spend most of my time in BAIR or TAing for CS 189/289A: Intro. To Machine Learning.

I'm extremely grateful for Vongani Maluleke, who has been an amazing mentor to me as I navigate my odd research journey.
