I'm a 1st year MS student at Caltech working with Prof Georgia Gkioxari. I'm interested in computer vision and embodied AI, and have done some works in both of the areas. My research focus is in 2D/3D scene generation and interaction, and to investigate how to simulate and interact with the physical environment using learning based method. Previously: I completed my BS in Computer Engineering with Honors of Highest Distinction, BS in Joint Mathematics-Economics, and Minor in Music from UC San Diego, where I worked with Prof Xiaolong Wang on robot learning and Prof Nuno Vasconcelos on computer vision. I have also interned at Amazon, at EPFL with Prof Pascal Frossard, and at Harvard in Prof Hanspeter Pfister's group with Prof Fangneng Zhan.

Teaching
When I started college, I had no background in CS and received incredible support from the TAs. I view teaching as a meaningful way to give back to the community. At UCSD, I have been a TA for 6 classes over 8 quarters.Instructor: Bryan Chin / John Eldon
