About Me

I am a first year Ph.D. student in U.C. Berkeley's computer science graphics team. I also graduated with a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from U.C. Berkeley. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love Melissa, technology, building computers, entrepreneurship, cars, and photography.

Research Interests

In a broad sense, I am interested in computer vision techniques applied to computational photography. I like solving real-world problems, that photographers and cinematographers encounter in filming and photography, through advances editing or automatic tools. I am experienced in the whole pipeline- from drafting algorithms all the way to implementation for consumers.
