I am a PhD student supervised by Sven Dickinson and Animesh Garg at the University of Toronto, where we do research at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning and simulation. Previously, I interned at NVIDIA where I worked on differentiable simulation with Miles Macklin.

I am actively seeking internship opportunities for 2024. Please see my CV and feel free to reach out!
