I am interested in learning algorithms, computer vision, graphics, learning theory, and math. My work builds models that can produce physically realistic dynamic worlds as well as understand/interact with our world.

Currently, I’m a research intern at NVIDIA. I am an undergraduate student in CS and Math at UofT University of Toronto. Previously, I took a 1-year break from my undergrad to work at NVIDIA as a research intern at the intersection of AI, vision, and graphics. Before that, I was a research intern at Qualcomm AI Research with Roland Memisevic, Guillaume Berger on video-audio-language models (VLMs). Even before that, I was a research engineering intern at CivoCivo with Josh Mesout where I focused on improving inference performance of multimodal models.

In a past life, I used to work on software engineering and building robot hardware. I used to contribute to some popular open-source software.
