Experience

1. Research Scientist

   Meta

   Jul 2022 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   Developed a PCA-based algorithm to reconstruct face geometry from landmarks detected from a selfie image in real time, achieving 3 mm accuracy en route to impacting product direction-Used PCA and mesh registration techniques to create statistical head models which improved reconstruction accuracy by 52%, enhancing downstream applications and analyses-Implemented automatic tools for deforming template meshes onto face scans, evaluating mesh quality, and computing mesh-to-mesh signed distances-Used rendering and ray tracing techniques to perform visibility analyses.
