About
My research is centered on building human-centric world models that perceive, anticipate, and generate how people and their environments evolve over time. I develop predictive and generative models across human motion, dynamic 3D scenes, and long-horizon video generation, with the goal of learning general models of human-centered dynamics.
I am currently looking for research roles and collaborations in computer vision and generative AI. Please
get in touch if you think there could be a good fit!
