I am a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research in the Toronto AI Lab. I earned my PhD in Machine Learning and Computer Vision from the University of Toronto under the supervision of Prof. Sanja Fidler. During this time, I was also affiliated with the Vector Institute for AI. In 2018, I completed my Master’s Degree in Applied Computing at the same institution.

My current work lies at the intersection of Generative AI and Neural Simulation with a focus on Data Generation. I am also particularly interested in finding optimal ways to “adapt” large foundation models to produce enterprise value. More broadly, my research interests span representation learning, model adaptation, controllable generation, synthetic data, optimization and generative modelling. I also have interest in scene understanding and low-level vision.

I am honored to have received the 2020 Microsoft Ada Lovelace Fellowship.

Graduate students interested in internships at NVIDIA are welcome to contact me with a CV and summary of research interests.
