His research focuses on reconstructing, simulating, and generating 3D worlds, with a particular interest in the intersection of reconstruction and generative modeling: using generative priors to improve 3D reconstruction, and using reconstruction to ground generative models in the physical world. His recent work spans scalable neural scene reconstruction, real-time sensor simulation, and 3D content generation.</p> <p>He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, where he was advised by <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~deva/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deva Ramanan</a> and collaborated with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_AI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argo AI</a> and Meta <a href="https://about.meta.com/realitylabs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reality Labs Research</a>. Before his Ph.D., he spent seven years at <a href="https://www.palantir.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palantir Technologies</a> in product and engineering leadership roles. He obtained his B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University, where he worked with <a href="http://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alex Aiken</a> and <a href="https://ai.stanford.edu/~koller/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daphne Koller</a>.</p>
