About Me

I am a final-year Ph.D. student at VIU Lab, Johns Hopkins University. I obtained my bachelor's degree from UIUC CS in 2020. During my undergrad at UIUC, I have conducted research at UIUC-IFP Group. I am/was an intern at Netflix Eyeline Studios (2024), Epic Games (2023), Adobe (2022-2023), Microsoft (2021) and Horizon Robotics (2019).
My research covers multiple areas related to content creation and manipulation, particularly at the intersection of computer vision and graphics. These areas lie between generation and reconstruction, human and general scene modeling, as well as 2D and 3D representations.

I am open to job opportunities starting early in 2025.
