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 working on something new for people who love taking photos — exploring how Generative AI can open fresh creative possibilities in photography.
Before this, I was a researcher on Marc Levoy’s Computational Photography team (employee #1) at Adobe. I built AI-first features (adobe-adaptive-profile, wire-removal) for photographers. We also launched Project Indigo, a computational camera app that pushed the boundaries of computational photography.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2020, advised by Ren Ng, and my bachelor's from Rice University, where I focused on computer vision under Ashok Veeraraghavan.
When I'm not coding or training models, I'm usually out with a film camera and an iPhone in hand. Photography has been my constant since I grew up in Beijing, and I still carry it with me wherever I go.
