About Me
I am a Moore Sloan Faculty Fellow in the Center for Data Science (CDS) in New York University. I completed my PhD in the Graphics/Vision Lab in Princeton CS department, advised by
Prof. Thomas Funkhouser.
I'm interested in applications of computer vision to medical imaging and perception, 3D reconstruction and visual understanding tasks, partic.
Here is my CV.
Prior to graduate school, I tried tackling bioinformatics problems with genetic algorithms, helped design a tool helping drug design researchers find protein-ligand binding sites, and worked on multilingual search algorithms.

Some Fun Things I Did
|
I made an educational game based on functional programming: TrainBox. |
