My group works on three main research themes in computer vision: neural signal representations, trustworthy AI, and scene reconstruction, with applications in medical imaging, environmental science, and beyond.

I completed my PhD at MIT CSAIL advised by John Guttag and Frédo Durand, followed by postdoctoral research with Bill Freeman. I received dual B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan.
