I am a research scientist at Luma Labs. Previously, I was the co-founder and CTO of Apparate Labs. My research explores generative AI, human avatars, and 3D neural representations for reconstruction, generation, and editing.
I received my PhD in computer science from Stanford University, co-advised by Leonidas Guibas and Gordon Wetzstein. During my PhD, I interned at Google Research, NVIDIA Research, and Adobe Research.
Previously, I worked at Google as a software engineer on Portrait Mode. I was also a Computer Science undergraduate and graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Keenan Crane.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, badminton, swimming, boardgames, and music (long-time swiftie). Also a fan of traveling and sports – go Ravens!
