I grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and due to my passion for the outdoors, I love it here. Feel free to see
a gallery of some of my photos. I am passionate about outdoors activites such as running, paddleboarding, snowskiing, hiking, and mountain biking. I also like environmental protection,
whole plant foods, following
lifestyle medicine guidelines, science, and living a sustainable lifestyle. Happily, Adobe does a pretty good job in terms of
sustainability.
My career has focused on computer science research with numerous Adobe and academic collaborators, and particularly on algorithms used by photographers. I have worked within computer graphics and computer vision. Recently I have worked on image tasks like segmentation for identifying distracting elements in photographs, inpainting, generative modeling, and efficiency and distillation topics related to those tasks.
For the years 2013-2017, I was an assistant professor of computer science at the University of Virginia.
