I am a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research, where I am part of the AI-Mediated Reality and Interaction (AMRI) research group. I am particularly interested in computational human perception with a focus in measuring and understanding human gaze.

I completed my PhD in the Advanced Interactive Technologies lab at ETH Zurich, advised by Prof. Dr. Otmar Hilliges. As part of my research, I proposed novel computer vision and machine learning techniques as well as image and video datasets for the task of webcam-based gaze estimation. Prior to joining NVIDIA, I worked at Lunit as a Research Scientist where I worked on topics in microscope image analysis and computational pathology (CPATH).
