Looking for Masters and Undergrad researchers!

Professor Steven Feiner and I are looking for one or more Columbia Master’s and Undergraduate students to work on a research project related to geometric reconstruction, machine learning and virtual reality. You can work on this project while enrolled in a project course like COMS 3998, 4901 and 6901 in the Fall of 2025, or in exchange for hourly compensation. In this project, we want to build on Salzman et al.’s VHard Extended Reality Rock Climbing work and use geometric deep learning to predict the difficulties of bouldering routes and generate novel routes on existing climbing walls, as well as suggest sequences of hand poses to climbers in XR.

If this sounds interesting and you fit the profile above, please email both of us, attaching a CV and a brief (one or two paragraphs) summary of your background, relevant experience and motivation. Even if you have emailed me or Prof. Feiner previously about research opportunities, if you are interested, please email us again referencing this specific project.

New job!

I am moving to Columbia University to start a new research lab as an Assistant Professor. Stay tuned for updates!
