About Me

I'm a research scientist at Adobe. I received my PhD in machine learning under James Hays at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I also received my BS and MS degrees in computer science. My research interest primarily lies in the intersection of computer vision and machine learning. In particular, I'm interested in multimodal learning and image/video generation.


Previously, I was a research intern at Adobe (2x under Tobias Hinz, 1x under John Collomosse and Zhe Lin), research intern & student researcher at Google (1x under Aaron Sarna, 1x under Andrew Gallagher), and a visiting student at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems under Andreas Geiger. I was awarded the Marshall D. Williamson Fellowship during my Master's.


Prospective interns: Please email me your CV and brief description of what you'd like to work on.
