I am a Research Scientist at Adobe Research, working with Eli Shechtman. I received my CS Ph.D. from the University of Maryland College Park, where I was advised by Jia-Bin Huang. My research interests include video synthesis and 3D computer vision, particularly focusing on bridging visual generative models with dynamic 3D controllability and interactivity.

Previously, I was a research intern at Adobe, collaborating with Zhengqi Li and Eli Shechtman, and earlier with Feng Liu. I was also a student researcher at Google DeepMind, mentored by Forrester Cole and Erika Lu.
