Research
I am rethinking AI-powered vision starting from the first photon. I’ve found that many commonly used noise models limit progress in low-light vision. My work aims to move beyond these limitations by building physics-driven vision pipelines that capture the true behavior of light. By co-designing the optics and the software, I develop imaging systems that see better because they are grounded in the physics of vision.
