About Me

I am first year PhD student at NYU Courant advised by Prof. Saining Xie. My research is in computer vision and AI.

Previously, I was a predoctoral researcher at the Allen Institute for AI working primarily with Dr. Tanmay Gupta and Dr. Ani Kembhavi.

Before that I was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, where I received a degree in mathematics. There I was fortunate to work with Prof. Rana Hanocka and Prof. Michael Maire.
