I am a research scientist and manager at Reality Labs Research, Meta (formerly known as Facebook Reality Labs and Oculus Research). My research interest lies in the intersection of machine learning, computer graphics and computer vision, and particularly in computational photography and mixed reality. Before joining Oculus Research, I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the
University of British Columbia.
