About me

I am a Research Scientist at NVIDIA's Deep Imagination Research group. I am interested in spatial intelligence — enabling AI to perceive, comprehend, and interact with the physical world. My research has been integrated into several products for NVIDIA, including NVIDIA Cosmos and NVIDIA Edify. I have received numerous awards including TIME's Best Inventions of 2023 as well as the Best AI and Best Overall at CES 2025. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University, advised by Dr. Mathias Unberath and Dr. Russell H Taylor. I received my Bachelor degree from University of British Columbia, advised by Dr. Tim Salcudean. I have been fortunate to collaborate with many brilliant minds at NVIDIA, Meta Reality Labs, Intuitive, UBC and JHU.
