Research

My research focuses on egocentric perception and predictive modeling of human behavior. I explore how multi-modal first-person signals—including visual, auditory, and motor cues—can be used to understand and anticipate human interactions with objects, people, and environments. The broader goal is to enable intelligent agents to perceive, reason, and act in human-centered, real-world scenarios.
This has led me to explore how egocentric cues can be integrated with 3D human understanding and embodied systems, with potential applications in robotics and AR/VR. Shoot me an email if you're interested in chatting or collaborating :)
