About Me

I am a fifth year PhD student in Computer Science at Stanford University advised by Leonidas Guibas. My general interests lie in 3D computer vision and AI, spanning applications in 3D content generation, spatial computing, and autonomous vehicles. Throughout my PhD, my work has had an emphasis on building scalable geometric representations for 4D content.

I have interned with Apple, Toyota Research Institute (TRI), and Nvidia. During my first year at Stanford, I rotated with Jure Leskovic and Serena Yeung. I received my Bachelor's degree in computer science from MIT in 2020.
