About me
I am a Computer Science PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Mathias Unberath
and Prof. Russell H Taylor.
My research focuses on recovering motion and structures from images.
I have strong interests in computer vision, computer graphics, deep learning.
I have experience with applications such as 3D reconstruction, robotics and mixed reality.
I have been fortunate to collaborate with many brilliant minds at JHU, Nvidia, Reality Labs and
Intuitive.
I am also a videographer, mental health promoter, dog lover, snorkeler, surfer, sky-diver,
snowboarder...
