I am a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT CSAIL working with William T. Freeman and a Visiting Scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, where I was advised by Amitabh Varshney and worked closely with Christopher A. Metzler and Jia-Bin Huang.
My research develops AI as a “lens” to reveal hidden worlds embedded in physical phenomena. My North Star is to build intelligent systems that, rather than merely mirroring human perception, process information guided by the underlying physics of light. In doing so, I aim to expand the boundaries of scientific discovery and transform how we understand the physical world, both near and faraway.
