Background
Currently a Senior Research and Development Researcher at Kitware in computer vision.
Primary research focus is computational imaging, at the intersection of optics, signal processing, and computer vision.
PhD thesis centered on achieving noiseless and clutterless reconstructions in passive non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging using unconventional information.
Current work includes event-based imaging with neuromorphic cameras and foundation models for underwater acoustics.
Expertise includes inverse problems, machine learning, data fusion, and programming.
