I am a Research Scientist at Google.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, advised by Prof. Hyun Soo Park

My research is in computer vision and computer graphics with a focus on Generative AI. I specifically focus on obtaining human and garment geometry, and their 3D deformation across various shapes and poses from images and videos. My goal is to use in-the-wild images and videos, without the need for ground truth information, to train computational models by employing geometry-aware self-supervision signals.
