About
I am a second-year Ph.D. student at Caltech in the Computing + Mathematical Sciences (CMS) Department, where I am advised by Katie Bouman and am in the Computational Cameras group. I am supported by the Kortschak Fellowship. I'm really interested in combining statistical inference techniques with data-driven priors to both validate existing scientific hypotheses and discover new phenomena, particularly in astrophysical imaging.
I also did an internship at Polymathic this summer, where I worked with David Fouhey on solar imaging.I previously received my B.S./M.S. from UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Miki Lustig and Jon Tamir and worked on MRI reconstruction and motion correction.
