About Me | CV (8/2026)

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, an Asaro Biggar Family Fellow in Data Science, and an affiliated member of Center for Visual Science, all at University of Rochester. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin, and previously held visiting researcher positions at Arm Research, Harvard University, and Meta Reality Labs.

I do research in computer systems and architecture. I am particularly interested in how computing interacts with two domains traditionally considered outside computing: sensing and human perception. Whether in Extended Reality (XR), embodied AI, or autonomous agents, computer systems must continuously sense the physical world while also generating information for humans to perceive. My research centers on co-designing computer systems with sensing and human perceptual systems. My research group page has more to offer.

I am always looking for students. If you love nature, are curious about humans, and happen to know how to program, please read this and send me an email.
