I'm a Senior Research Scientist/Engineer at Adobe in Seattle, specializing in controllable image and video generation with a focus on 3D-centric controls. My research bridges computer vision, machine learning, and computational photography to build systems that give creators precise control over visual content.
My work spans 3D vision (stereo, depth estimation, camera calibration), computational photography (burst processing, reflection removal, defocus synthesis), and video processing (view synthesis, depth estimation, scene-aware effects). I'm particularly interested in how 3D understanding can improve generative models and creative tools.
I earned my PhD from Cornell University (2016) under Noah Snavely and Kavita Bala, where I developed methods for analyzing large-scale photo collections. Before joining Adobe, I spent five years at Facebook (2016-2021) on Computational Photography and XR Tech.
