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 lies at the intersection of computer vision, computer graphics, and generative AI. I focus on learning human and garment geometry, as well as their 3D deformation, from images and videos.
