I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University. My research is in 3D computer vision and machine learning. Specifically, I am interested in 3D spatiotemporal visual understanding of human physical interactions. I build methods for human-centric, object-centric, and interaction-centric understanding of our world from videos and images.
Prospective Students: We are always looking for motivated students to join us. Please see this page for information on PhD admissions. If you are already an undergrad/grad at Brown, please email me directly.
Outside of Brown, I spend part of time as a Visiting Academic at Amazon Robotics AI. I was previously a postdoc at Stanford University with Leonidas Guibas. I obtained my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics advised by Christian Theobalt and Antti Oulasvirta. I have also spent time at Microsoft Research Redmond, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, the Honda Research Institute, and College of Engineering Guindy.
