About

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech, focusing on generative AI. My research interests include text-to-image generation, video editing, and motion transfer. Previously, I interned as an Applied Scientist at Amazon.

Research Philosophy

I believe that transformative research often emerges from working within constraints. In academia, where we face computational limitations compared to large tech companies, I've turned this challenge into an opportunity for innovation. My work is characterized by training-free approaches that emphasize creativity over computational power. My aim is developing a signature style of research that focuses on creating impactful solutions that are both elegant and accessible.
