I am an undergraduate student at Rice University, majoring in Computer Science. Currently, I am advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan and Salman S. Khan. My research interests include lensless imaging, face recognition, and image reconstruction. During the summer of 2024, I was a visiting research intern at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Jeannette Bohg.
My broader research passion lies in multimodal scene representation, where I explore innovative ways to leverage visual sensory data to deepen the understanding of the physical world. My goal is to enable machines not only to perceive the world as we do, but also to surpass our limitations by seeing the invisible.
