I am a second year graduate student in the vision science program at UC Berkeley. My advisors are Marty Banks from the vision science program, and Maneesh Agrawala from the computer science department. My studies broadly encompass visual perception and computer graphics, and I am currently pursuing research examining how shape perception is influenced by different shading techniques. More information can be found on the Banks Lab and Visualization Lab websites.

Prior to coming to Berkeley, I was a software developer and research assistant for the Golby Lab in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, and for the Affective Neuroscience Lab in the Psychology Department at Harvard University. My work in these labs primarily involved the development of software for neuroimaging research, functional brain mapping, and image-guided surgery.

My interests include 3D shape perception, computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer vision, computational neuroscience, and biomedical image-processing. I am particularly interested in how our understanding of the human visual system can be applied to problems in computer science.
