01 About
My research interest revolves around multimodal and generative models for video, 3D animation, and robotics. My work focuses on perceiving and generating human behavior (in video or 3D) from text, audio, and image inputs.
I spent 5 years as a Ph.D. student in UC Berkeley's EECS program, co-advised by Prof. Trevor Darrell and Prof. Angjoo Kanazawa. During my PhD I focused on social and conversational AI: modeling how people move, listen, and interact so machines can engage in meaningful social interactions. Before all that jazz, I was advised by Prof. Kristen Grauman at UT Austin working on ego-exo human reconstruction.

A running series of the places I've been — my own "style transfer" of photos into paint, and a way to commemorate the spots I've been lucky to visit. People ask if they're AI-generated, which I suppose is a compliment these days. I also take on commissions: if you'd like a custom piece, get in touch.
