ABOUT

I work at the intersection of machine learning, 3D reconstruction, and human-centered technology. I completed my BSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh, where my dissertation introduced an out-of-core training method for Gaussian splatting that enables reconstruction of massive environments. Since then, I've worked at Autodesk Research on generative architectures for CAD representations, and now at a London-based startup on object and material reconstruction.

What drives me is not the technology itself, but what it makes possible. I started a heritage preservation project in Hong Kong, using photogrammetry to document spaces and communities facing demolition, work that grew into collaborations with journalists, public institutions, and art exhibitions. That project taught me that I do my best work when the stakes are real and the output is accountable to people, not just benchmarks.

I'm drawn to problems where technical depth and human context are inseparable, and where intelligent systems can support human agency rather than replace it.
