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.
