Spencer Szabados
My last name is pronounced 'sza-ba-dosh'.
University of Waterloo
Waterloo, ON, Canada
I’m a current graduate student (2023.01 - Present) at the University of Waterloo supervised by Yao-liang Yu working on Machine Learning. My research interests are currently centered around generative modeling with an emphasis on Diffusion Models; I’m also interested in a variety of topics within optimization, probabilistic modeling, and rendering methods. I am also associated with the Vector Institute. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Manitoba in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. Previously I was a member of the GADA Lab studying notions of Data Depth, supervised by Stephane Durocher.
Alongside my research I am working as a part-time ML contractor at Coastal Carbon (2024.08 - Present) working on using diffusion models for remote satellite sensing.
Outside of research I enjoy cycling, camping, and some amateur photography. I am also an avid reader, biased towards hard sci-fi that provide interesting social political commentary.
