I am a Senior Engineer at Qualcomm XR Research where I work on developing better virtual and augmented reality technology. I recently graduated with a PhD from the Dept. of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researching varifocal displays for augmented reality. Before pursuing a PhD, I worked in the animation and VFX industry making movies in Hollywood.
