Research Experience
  • - Working in the Android XR team at Google.
  • - Involved in the VoluMe project, which predicts 3D Gaussian reconstructions in real time from a single 2D webcam feed.
  • - Part of the DAViD project, demonstrating the use of smaller but high-fidelity synthetic datasets for training models without loss in accuracy.
  • - Contributor to the GASP project, proposing a method to overcome limitations of existing datasets.
  • - Developer of 'Look Ma, no markers!', a technique for marker-free, high-quality reconstruction of the complete human body.
  • - Participant in the Hairmony project, developing a method to predict a person's hairstyle from a single image.
  • - Researcher on eyelid fold consistency, proposing a new definition and implementing geometric processing techniques.
  • - Creator of Scribble, an application that automatically generates stylized 2D avatars from selfies.
  • - Member of the SimpleEgo project, addressing egocentric human pose estimation from downward-facing cameras on HMDs.
Background
  • Joining the Android XR org at Google as a research engineer. Will be working on synthetic human data for on-device sensing and supporting generative AI applications.
