Ph.D. Student in Computer Science
Computer Vision Lab, University of California - Santa Cruz
I am a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of California - Santa Cruz, advised by Roberto Manduchi. My research focus on 3D Vision, Indoor Localization, and Human-Computer Interaction. I am also interested in their application in AR/VR/MR and assistive technologies. Prior to joining UCSC, I completed my BS in Informatics degree at the University of Washington - Seattle.
Interested Topics
3D Scene Understanding
Understanding the world around us using camera, LiDAR, etc.
This include localization, object detection, logical reasoning with common-sense, and representing these information with human-interpretable natural language.
Assistive Technology for Visually Impaired
Algorithms and devices in the forms of Smart glasses, Smart phone apps, etc. that are built for fostering independent living of blind and visually impaired (BVI) people.
AR/VR/MR
Bringing the digital world into reality... or the other way around.
I am especially interested in AR/MR's ability to bring more information into the real world
3D Reconstruction
Sparse-View Reconstruction and its application in creating 3D assets at scale.
