I am a research scientist at Reality Labs, Meta. My interest lies in the field of computational photography and 3D computer vision.
I received my Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in 2022, advised by Jia-Bin Huang. Prior to that, I was a Master's student at the University of Michigan. I received my Bachelor's degree from Oregon State University.
Feel free to drop me an email if you're interested in collaborating with me and our team.

I enjoy road-trip as it's a great way to experience local customs.
The spectacular landscape reminds me of how great our Creator is.

I spent 6 years learning figure sketch, traditional Chinese painting, and Gongbi, specialized in Bird-and-flower painting.
Through painting, I find inner peace.
These days I enjoy drawing some anime characters for fun. Check them out.
I regularly engage in hiking, paddleboarding, and snowboarding. If you're in Seattle and enjoy outdoor activities, feel free to contact me.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
