I’m a 4th-year PhD student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Kris M. Kitani and Laszlo Jeni.

I’m broadly interested in making video understanding faster and more efficient. In particular, I’m working on enabling vision algorithms to perceive the world in high resolution and at 30+ FPS.

During my graduate studies, I’ve spent time as a research intern at Meta FAIR (with Jing Huang). Before starting my PhD, I was a software engineer at Nuro, where I worked on trajectory forecasting models for self-driving vehicles. Even before that, I graduated from Caltech.

When I’m not working on research, I enjoy running, lifting weights, listening to electronic music and reading manga.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
