Assistant Professor, Department of Engineering
University of Cambridge
Fellow, St John's College

I work on visual perception and world modelling, studying how to turn observations into representations that support reconstruction, editing, reasoning, and planning. I was previously a postdoc at MIT CSAIL and completed my Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics.
