Research Interests

• World models and video diffusion models
• Simulating multi-agent motion trajectories in real world environments
• Convolutional/recurrent architectures for signal processing in challenging noisy settings
• Generative models for 3D shapes and scenes

Academic

• Past life as a structural engineersubset of civil engineering for designing the structural systems of buildings, bridges, and other built infrastructure to resist gravity and environmental forces like wind and earthquakes. Spent all my time trying to automate the calculations and spreadsheets
• Been studying ML/AI since 2019 at Stanford (CS229Machine Learning, CS230Deep Learning, CS361Design Optimization, CS161Design and Analysis of Algorithms)
• Interned for 8 months as an AI Resident at Google Xaka “the moonshot factory” – Waymo, Google Glass, etc. working on generative models for architectural design
• Did a Fulbright research fellowship post-bachelors in Switzerlandforever enamored with their train system and mountains at EPFL for 1 year

Personal

• I’ve run two marathons: the City of Oaks MarathonRaleigh, NC (2023) and the New York City Marathon (2024)
• I’ve lived≥ 3 months on 3 continents and in 8 citiesmunicipal, not metropolitan area.
• I enjoy learning languages and speak some FrenchJe me débrouille bien, SpanishAprendido en la escuela, and Italian“Imparato” dagli amici to varying degrees
• Have played the saxincluding alto, tenor, and baritone since elementary schoolhighlights include performing in the pit orchestra for our high school production of “Chicago” and playing at Carnegie Hall with the Columbia University Wind Ensemble
