I am a MS CS student at Stanford University where I work on computer vision and am advised by Leonidas Guibas.

I am grateful to have collaborated with Jiajun Wu during my MS and completed my undergraduate education at the University of Michigan where I was fortunate to be advised by David Fouhey.

Before starting research in mainstream vision, I had the privilege of working with Amy Cohn and Stephen Parker at Michigan where I worked on healthcare operations research and bioinformatics respectively.

I am interested in developing robust computer vision systems that can understand the world around us. Some areas of particular interest include 3D vision, distribution shifts and learning from unstructured visual data.

Specular objects such as coke cans often appear "accidentally" in images and can be used to recover scene lighting from single image observations using differentiable rendering.

Transformers are really good at integrating evidence across multiple views and producing a planar reconstruction.

Real-life variation in learning speeds of surgical trainees and decrease in available training opportunities can affect trainee competency and potentially endager patient safety.
