About Me

I am an Applied Scientist at Amazon Science in Sunnyvale, CA, working on GenAI for 3D.

I earned a Ph.D. degree from Simon Fraser University, adviced by Hao.

I work in the areas of 3D computer graphics and vision, developing computational models for generative and interactive shape/scene understanding and geometric modeling problems.

Research Interests : Neural modeling of 3D shapes, 3D scenes and 2D documents, exploring different representations, single and multi-modal, centered around generation, reconstruction, and interaction tasks.

Earlier, I graduated with a M.Tech in Electrical Engineering (Signal Processing) from IIT Gandhinagar, working with Shanmuganathan Raman. I was also a visiting student at JAIST, Japan .
