I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the EECS at UC Berkeley, affiliated with the BAIR Lab. I am working on Oz Vision, closely with Prof. Ren Ng and Prof. Austin Roorda.

I received my PhD at KAUST with Prof. Wolfgang Heidrich. My work involves both applied opics and the application of various numerical algorithms to solve inverse problems. I was a visiting undergrad at the Martinos Center, hosted by Dr. Jonghwan Lee.

Email me if you are interested to be a collaborator, a mentee, or seeking helps (or, consultation) within my area of expertise.

Research Interests

I do research in the field of computational imaging. Specific topics are:

  • Wavefront sensing
  • Adaptive optics
  • Differentiable imaging
  • Optical design and modeling
  • Digital holography

Education

  • 2017 - 2021: Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
  • 2015 - 2016: M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering (Systems Track), KAUST, Saudi Arabia
  • 2011 - 2015: B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering, Tianjin University, P.R. China

Services

I frequently serve as a reviewer for peer-reviewed conferences and journals in graphics, computer vision, and applied optics, for academic societies including ACM, IEEE, OSA, among others:

  • SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, VR
  • ACM Transactions on Graphics
  • IEEE Transactions on {Computational Imaging, Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence}
  • OSA {Biomedical Optics Express, Optics Express, Optics Letters, Photonics Research}
  • Elsevier {Measurement, Optics Communications}
