I am a PhD candidate at Brown Visual Computing, working with James Tompkin and Fulvio Domini. My research investigates how computational systems and humans perceive and reconstruct visual properties of the world, including geometry, materials, and illumination, from images.

My recent work examines how vision foundation models (VLMs, ViTs) represent surface properties compared to human perception. I am broadly interested in inverse rendering, computational perception, and the intersection of computer vision with cognitive science.
