Research Experience
Currently an Assistant Research Professor at Johns Hopkins University, affiliated with the Data Science and AI (DSAI). Worked in a start-up for a couple of years before returning to academia. Serving as Guest Editor for a special issue in IJCV, organized a workshop in WACV 2025, and a tutorial in MICCAI 2021.
Education
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park; PhD at Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Rama Chellappa.
Background
Research Interests: Computer Vision and its various applications, particularly in 3D/4D. Past work focuses on high quality, high resolution 3D reconstruction from signals in the visible spectrum (Neural Radiance Field, 3D Gaussian Splatting, etc.) and the invisible spectrum (CT, MRI, etc.). Also worked on image analysis, e.g., segmentation, detection, re-ID, etc., for human identification and on medical images.
Miscellany
Enjoys a good combination of novel scientific progress and grounded, practical engineering. Spends a lot of thoughts on how vision algorithms can be implemented and productively applied in the real world.
