I am in my final year of Ph.D. study at MIT MechE, mentored by Prof. Peter So, with my research centered on computational imaging and optics. I am pioneering developments in computational imaging and computational lithography, aiming to create advanced imaging and optical systems that intelligently and informatively interact with the physical world. My work navigates the challenge of connecting academic progress in computational cameras to real-world applications, utilizing artificial intelligence, digital fabrication, and differentiable optics.

For my current research, I am transforming the limitations of current design and fabrication processes, making the once impossible, possible. One direction I am working on is neural lithography, which employs a real2sim gray-box modeling of the computational optics system and an end-to-end fully-differentiable pipeline for co-optimization of computational imaging task and manufacturability.
