I am a Research Associate and incoming PhD Student at Columbia University, immensely fortunate to be advised by Carl Vondrick.

My research interests lie primarily in learning-based Computer Vision. More specifically, I enjoy building models that emulate the abilities toddlers - new to their visual environment - naturally acquire and curiously self-teach. I am hence also interested in leveraging multi-modal (auditory, tactile, olfactory!) signals complementary to and in the absence of vision. I believe that such models can creatively reconstruct, efficiently generalize, and playfully interact.

Previously, I graduated from Columbia Engineering with a B.S. in Computer Science, where I was introduced to research by Shuran Song and Carl Vondrick.
