01 About
My research broadly centers on multimodal and generative models for embodied intelligence — enabling machines to perceive, understand, and generate human behavior in the real world.
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.
