Background
  • Currently a Senior Research and Development Researcher at Kitware in computer vision.
  • Primary research focus is computational imaging, at the intersection of optics, signal processing, and computer vision.
  • PhD thesis centered on achieving noiseless and clutterless reconstructions in passive non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging using unconventional information.
  • Current work includes event-based imaging with neuromorphic cameras and foundation models for underwater acoustics.
  • Expertise includes inverse problems, machine learning, data fusion, and programming.
