I am a Tech Lead at Disney Research using AI and deep learning to advance motion capture and animation. In 2018, I established actor tracking capabilities (called synth2track), which is now used at ILM for match anim, and recently established motion completion tools for key-framing which is used at Pixar for layout.

Prior to this, I pioneered embodied conversational characters that people can speak with and that understand their environment. They can recognize things, walk around and interact with the world realistically, play musical instruments, and build rapport via conversation, imitation and more.
