A Bit About Me

News

I am a researcher/engineer at Google Research. Before joining industry, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Utah. I live/work in Los Angeles, a metropolis by the largest ocean on the earth.

The photo above was taken at the Canyonlands National Park, Utah in December 2013. I also post on Instagram at times.
