Donald Winkelman

President of Outreach

Hi y’all, I’m Donnie! I’m in the MS CS program at UMass and delving further into deep learning! I’ve done some research in interpretability and safety (exploring how models think) alongside experiments with computer vision models. I enjoy reading papers in medicine and ML and want to specialize in medical AI to increase diagnostic accuracy, surgical accuracy, enable the development of more complex laboratory-made proteins, and much more. Look forward to meeting y'all!

Aryaman Tepal

President of Education

Hi, I'm Aryaman! I'm a sophomore Honors CS + Applied Math major, and I'm looking forward to being the president of education this semester! I've worked on some research in Hyperspectral Image Clustering and Trustworthy AI / ML research. I really love soccer, so I'm currently exploring geometric DL to figure out how Barcelona can concede less goals. That said, I enjoy the math & algorithm side of things quite a bit, so I enjoy working on any applications of ML in real-life! Very excited for this upcoming semester!

Niko Lorantos

Rehan Taneja

Project Lead

Hey,I'm Rehan! I'm an AI enthusiast, part-time model tuner and full-time overfitter. When I'm not making machines learn, I'm probably debugging why they won’t. Passionate about building cool AI projects, optimizing hyperparameters, and pretending my code worked on the first try. If you see me staring at my screen it's definitely not because I'm confused(send snacks).

Aryaman Goenka

Project Lead

Hi, I’m Aryaman Goenka! I’m a curious and driven Computer Science freshman at UMass Amherst, passionate about building tech that makes an impact. Whether it’s crafting AI-driven apps, designing neural network tools, or diving into hackathons, I thrive at the intersection of creativity and problem-solving. I love experimenting, learning, and collaborating on projects that push boundaries. Let’s innovate, build, and make cool things happen together!

Eric Nunes

Project Lead

Howdy, I'm Eric! Originally from Austin, TX, I'm a first-year grad student in the MSCS program after having graduated from Texas A&M with my Bachelor's in Spring 2024, and I'm excited to serve as a project lead this semester! Outside of computer science, my other interests are in hiking and music (you can also find me active on WMUA-FM). Looking forward to an amazing semester with y'all!

Jonathan Liu

Marketing Coordinator

Hey everyone, I’m Jonathan! I’m a freshman CS major with an interest in AI/ML, particularly natural language processing and computer vision. I’m excited to use AI to solve real-world problems in the future. I’m also looking forward to serving as a MassAI marketing coordinator this semester and can’t wait to meet you all!
