I'm an AI Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs on the XR World AI team, led by Peter Kontschieder. I work on 3D/4D generation and
reconstruction for the Metaverse!
I completed my PhD at Berkeley advised by
Professor Angjoo Kanazawa. I'm excited about
extending 3D reconstruction
techniques to casual data, such as mobile phone videos, TV shows, and cartoons. I believe that lifting
non-traditional data to 3D unlocks
new possibilities. You can find my PhD dissertation talk recording here!
At a higher level, I'm passionate about helping others with technological solutions,
and I'm most interested in 3D computer vision with applications in
augmented reality and robotics. I'm also intrigued by brain-related
technology. Previously I was an undergraduate and Master's student
at MIT. I was fortunate to work with and learn from
Professor Antonio Torralba
during this time.

Here are some projects I've done over the years, going as far back to my middle school years. Lately, most of passion projects have become research papers and are listed above. 😅
Here is a collection of images to highlight the various experiences I've had. My CV has more details!
