We are hiring!
We're a small and mighty team of engineers and researchers obsessed with storytelling through photography.
Still operating in stealth mode in the heart of Silicon Valley.
If you are interested in GenAI, photography, or building visual products, let's chat!
Me
I'm building something new for anyone who loves taking photos, and am deeply interested in how GenAI can
empower the future of photography.
I was a researcher at Adobe with the computational
photography team led by Marc Levoy. We
developed AI-first
features for photographers,
and were building a software-defined camera app leveraging
computational photography.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2020,
advised by Ren Ng. Prior to
Berkeley, I got my B.S. from Rice University with a
focus in computer vision
under supervision of Ashok
Veeraraghavan. When I am not with my
computer, I bring a
(now film) camera almost whereever I go.
I was born and raised in Beijing.
