Bio

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Stanford Computational Imaging Laboratory, advised by Prof. Gordon Wetzstein. My research interest lies in 3D-structure-aware neural scene representations - a novel way for AI to represent information on our 3D world. My goal is to allow AI to perform intelligent 3D reasoning, such as inferring a complete model of a scene with information on geoemetry, material, lighting etc. from only few observations, a task that is simple for humans, but currently impossible for AI. I have previously worked on differentiable camera pipelines, VR and Human Perception.

I will join Prof. Noah Snavely's group at the Google NYC office over the summer and continue working on deep learning for scene understanding and novel view synthesis.

March 2019

Our paper "DeepVoxels: Learning Persistent 3D Feature Embeddings" was accepted to CVPR as an oral! I will be in Los Angeles from June 16 to June 21 to present the paper.
