CV |

I am currently a MSR student at Carnegie Mellon University working with Shubham Tulsiani at Physical Perception Lab. I am thankful to receive funding from NSF GRFP. I completed my undergrad at the University of Michigan, where I was fortunate to work with David Fouhey.

I am interested in understanding and generating 3D scenes from casual videos, images, and text.
