I'm a Computer Science PhD student at Columbia University. I have always been fascinated by the interaction between computers and the physical world. Branching out from this theme, I have explored Geometric/Probabilistic Algorithms, Mapping/Geographic Information Systems, and Camera Architecture/Computational Photography under various academic and industrial settings.
I'm fortunate to be advised by Professor Shuran Song. My research will focus on robotic manipulation and perception.
Learning random things has been the greatest source of pleasure for me, and I hope this will never stop. Recently, I have been studying the science of cooking in my free time.
