About me

I am a staff research scientist and leader of a research team in Project Starline at Google Labs. My expertise is in machine learning, optics, light field imaging, computer vision, remote sensing, and robotics.

Previously, I was a PhD student in the Stanford Computer Graphics Laboratory where I completed my CS Ph.D. under Marc Levoy where I developed light field microscope imaging technology for neuroscience applications. I also briefly held a post-doctoral research position in Gordon Wetzstein's Computational Imaging Lab at Stanford. I received my M.Eng and undergraduate degree in 2005 at MIT in EECS, working at the MIT Media Lab with Joe Paradiso. I have also worked at NASA Ames Research Center in the Intelligest Robotics Group from 2005-2011 and at Los Alamos National Laboratory during early years of undergraduate study.
