Welcome! I am a Research Scientist Intern at Meta and an incoming first year Computer Science PhD student at New York University where I am currently advised by Prof. Qi Sun in the Immersive Computing Lab.
My current research interests intersect computer graphics, VR/AR, applied perception, and displays. (Representative papers are highlighted, *=equal contribution)
A DRAM traffic compression scheme using peripheral color modulation.

Leveraging electromyography devices, we developed a model to predict the neck muscular workload associated with VR/AR experiences before their deployment.
Our color-perception-guided model preserves visual fidelity while saving up to 24% battery usage of OLED VR displays. We achieve this by subtly shifting the pixel colors in the peripheral vision.
