Hi! I am a fourth-year student at UIUC, pursuing a major in mathematics and computer science with a minor in physics. Broadly speaking, my interests include real-time rendering, physics-based simulation and animation, and human perception. I also enjoy building scalable graphics systems and exploring how insights from traditional graphics can be applied to artificial intelligence (and vice versa).
During my time in undergrad, I have been fortunate enough to have worked with many research mentors. Since my freshman year, I have been working with Professor Sarita Adve in the ILLIXR Group, building power-efficient XR rendering systems. In Summer 2024, I interned at NVIDIA’s Real-Time Graphics Research Group, led by Dr. Aaron Lefohn, to research ReSTIR with Dr. Chris Wyman, Dr. Daqi Lin, Dr. Markus Kettunen, and Professor Ravi Ramamoorthi. Most recently, I have also started studying differentiable rendering under the guidance of Professor Shuang Zhao.
I will be graduating in Spring 2025, and am currently applying for Ph.D. programs starting in the Fall 2025 cycle.
