I am a first year CS PhD student in the EECS department at UC Berkeley as part of the BAIR program! I am advised by Prof. Angjoo Kanazawa and Prof. Jitendra Malik. My research interests lie in generative priors, 3D computer vision, and robotics. Previously, I was advised by Prof. Kyoung Mu Lee and worked with Prof. Gyeongsik Moon deeply working in 3D computer vision. Please refer to my CV for more information.
