I’m an incoming PhD student at NYU Courant advised by Saining Xie and a Student Researcher at Google.

I’m broadly interested in Computer Vision, with a particular focus on measure transport in generative modeling. I’m currently working on video generation, especially on improving the latent representation and achieving long form consistency.

Besides academics, I enjoy outdoor activities: basketball, hiking, and snowboarding (very new to this!), and I like photography. I’m also on my way to collecting playbooks of all Broadway shows and stcikers from all National Parks.

Here is my CV.
