I am a fourth-year PhD student at Columbia University advised by Carl Vondrick. I am interested in building machines that leverage multimodal signals (e.g. vision, vibration, audio) and natural transformations in the physical world to creatively perceive and interact with their environment. I am currently interning at Meta Reality Labs, working with Alexander Richard and Jesse Marshall.
I previously graduated from the University of Pennsylvania advised by Jianbo Shi, with a BA in Computer Science, and minors in Math, Computational Neuroscience, and Systems Eng. In my free time I play with art projects, make useless but beautiful datasets (see Reflections),read (my GoodReads), play piano, and sometimes, scuba dive.
