Leron Julian

I am currently a PhD Candidate in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Aswin Sankaranarayanan within the Image Science Lab . I am also a proud Morehouse College Computer Science Graduate, class of 2019.

I interned at Samsung Research in 2023 as a Research Intern. I also interned at Idaho National Laboratory in 2019 as a Nuclear Plant Data Sciene Intern. I am also a honored to be funded by the GEM and Fritsch Family Fellowship during my PhD studies.

Research Interests

My research interest broadly lies within the intersection of Computer Vision and Deep Learning.

Currently, I am using vision and learning to lessen the variability of photovoltaic systems by studying the spatial distribution of clouds and their absorption properties along with the physical process that governs the creation and extinction of them. All in an effort to make photovoltaic systems more widespread and efficient by forecasting its availability long into the future.

Publications

Precise Forecasting of Sky Images Using Spatial Warping
Leron Julian, Aswin Sankaranarayanan
International Conference On Computer Vision Workshop (ICCVW), 2021
[Paper] [Supp] [Bibtex] [Code]

We introduce a deep learning framework, along with an optimal warping algorithm, to predict a future sky image frame with higher spatial and longer temporal resolution than previous methods.

The Development Of A Conversational Agent Mentor Interface Using Short Message Service (SMS)
Leron Julian, Kinnis Gosha Earl W. Huff Jr.
ACM SIGMIS Conference on Computers and People Research (SIGMIS-CPR) , 2018
[Paper]

We present the design and development of a conversational agent mentor that uses short message service (SMS) as a virtual mentor, to mentor undergraduate computer science majors at a Historically Black College (HBCU) who are considering pursuing a graduate degree in computing.
