About Me

Hi! I am Jason Jabbour, a Computer Science PhD student in my second year at Harvard University. I am a member of the Edge Computing Lab under the mentorship of Professor Vijay Janapa Reddi. My research focuses on machine learning, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering.
