Bio
I am a final-year PhD in Computer Science at Cornell Tech, being advised by Noah Snavely.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision, Graphics, and Human-Computer Interaction.
I was a research intern at Meta and Adobe Research.
I graduated from Georgia Tech in 2018, where I did undergraduate research advised by James Hays.
I am also a recipient of Ada Lovelace Fellowship in 2020.
