I’m a master’s student at UC San Diego, where I do research with Professor Zhuowen Tu and Professor Zhiting Hu. I’m working as an Applied Scientist Intern at Typeface this summer, and I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer Intern at Tesla.

My main research interests are in spatial intelligence, world models, and interpretability. I’m particularly interested in scene reconstruction and understanding, and in building environments where an agent has to learn a latent model of the world's dynamics, then reading that model back out to see what causal structure/understanding it actually picked up.
