Hi!

I’m a recent PhD graduate from the Computational Photography Lab at SFU, advised by Prof. Yağiz Aksoy. My research interests lies in machine learning for VFX and image editing.

Before joining SFU, I spent a few years as a Postproduction Supervisor working on numerous theatrical and television productions and restorations.

I received my M.Eng. in Imaging and Media Technology from TH Köln in 2015 and my B.Eng. Audiovisual Media from Media University Stuttgart in 2011.
