I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the Dynamic Graphics Project within the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, co-advised by Aaron Hertzmann and David J. Fleet. I completed a M.Sc. at UofT and a B.Math. in computer science at the University of Waterloo.

My research interests centre around statistical and physical models of motion. In particular, their application to computer animation and human tracking. I’m also generally interested in visual applications of machine learning.
