Biography

I am an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell. Until then, I am a postdoctoral fellow at MIT working with Sixian You and George Barbastathis, and supported by the MIT Postdoctoral Fellowship for Engineering Excellence. I work on co-designing optics and algorithms to create better, smaller, and more capable cameras and microscopes.

I obtained my PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley with Laura Waller. During my PhD, I was affiliated with the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab and was supported by the NSF GRFP fellowship. My PhD dissertation was on Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Computational Imaging.
