My research group works in computer vision, with core focus areas in neural signal and scene representations, medical imaging, and geospatial AI. At Rice University, I am also an active member of the Digital Health Initiative and the Houston Methodist–Rice Digital Health Institute.
Prior to Rice, I completed my PhD at MIT CSAIL under the supervision of John Guttag and Frédo Durand, followed by postdoctoral research with Bill Freeman. I hold dual B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan.
