Research Interests

I work in the fields of computer vision and graphics. I am particularly interested in generative models, neural rendering, fair and explainable AI, and medical imaging.

Background

I grew up in South Brunswick, New Jersey. In 2011, I received my B.S. degrees in Computer Science Engineering and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I completed my M.S. in 2013 and Ph.D. in 2018 in MIT's CSAIL department, under the supervision of John Guttag and Frédo Durand. After the PhD, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Bill Freeman’s group at MIT from 2018-2020 and a scientist in AWS from 2020-2021 working on fairness and accountability of AI systems.
