I am the Head of Engineering at SpreeAI, a high-tech virtual try-on startup. Besides overseeing all products R&D, I also lead and grow a world-class team of passionate Machine Learning researchers and engineers to develop and productionize our photorealistic avatar technology. Previously, I was a Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs Research, where I tech-led a group of researchers to develop 3D perception and human sensing algorithms for Meta Aria glasses. Before that, I was a Ph.D. student at The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University where I worked with Prof. Srinivasa Narasimhan and Prof. Yaser Sheikh on novel methods to capture dense and accurate 3D shape of human bodies. I also worked with Prof. Zhaoyang Wang at the Catholic University of America, where I got B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering, on camera calibration, structured light system, and tracking algorithms.

Research

I am very interested in various aspects of 3D vision, physics-based vision, and generative models for photorealistic digitial avatar creation and human scene understanding. The goal is to develop holistic and end-to-end machine learning systems that understand and recreate virtual environments that are perceptually indistinguishable from reality.

Jobs opportuninty: I am hiring full time CV&ML&Graphics researchers. I strike to balance between core and applied research with patents, papers, and product as outputs. Send me an email if you are interested in working with me.
