Bio

I am an incoming doctoral student at Columbia University in the Columbia Imaging and Vision Lab (CAVE) with Prof. Shree Nayar and a Visiting Researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder with Prof. Morteza Karimzadeh. My research focuses on computer vision, computational imaging, and machine learning for robust perception and its application to the science of the physical environment. In addition to research, I have been involved with startups in the field of autonomy, organized community events around energy and climate, and worked on spaceflight at NASA. I am also a recipient of the Greenwoods Fellowship and the LEAP Momentum Fellowship at Columbia. Prevously, I completed my Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), advised by Prof. Daniela Rus, and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with a double major in Mathematics and minor in Theater Arts.
