About

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at New York University, advised by Qi Sun. I work on efficient neural representations for visual computing, with interests in compression, real-time rendering, and high-performance GPU systems. I am drawn to research that takes theory seriously and runs fast in practice.

Before my PhD, I completed my BS in computer science and cognitive science at the University of Richmond, where I worked with Arryn Robbins and Catherine Finegan-Dollak on webcam eye tracking and visual search.
