I’m currently working on low-power eye tracking at Zinn Labs .

My research is focused on using optical and computational techniques for improving visual perception in near-eye optical systems. My work includes building and evaluating displays to alleviate the vergence–accommodation conflict in virtual and augmented reality systems, addressing presbyopia in both physical and virtual settings, and also visual–vestibular conflicts as they relate to motion sickness in VR.

I recently graduated with a PhD from Stanford EE in 2020. While at Stanford, I was advised by Prof. Gordon Wetzstein as part of the Stanford Computational Imaging Lab . Additionally, I was supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship . I received a Master’s from Stanford EE in 2017, and a Bachelor’s in EECS from UC Berkeley in 2015. In my time at Berkeley, my coursework focused on signal processing, and I was an undergraduate researcher in the Berkeley Imaging Systems Lab .
