I am an Adjunct Instructor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I am also a part of the Research Engineering & Design Lab at Adobe Research where I work on novel video workflows. I hold both a Bachelor's in Computer Science & Art (BCSA) and a Master's of Computer Science (MSCS) from Carnegie Mellon. During my time at Carnegie Mellon, I created the university's first Computer Graphics minor, which quickly got adopted to the Concentration in Computer Graphics.
I never wanted to do a PhD, so I skipped the PhD and went straight into research and teaching. You can get far in life, and a PhD isn't necessary, nor is it for everyone. I get more enjoyment out of building technologies and applications using research rather than the research itself.
I'm always looking for motivated graduate and advanced undergraduate students to join my lab at Adobe Research for summer internships. If you're interested, feel free to get in touch with me.
