About
Hi, I’m Kevin, currently a Research Scientist at Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). My research interests are in 3D perception and world models, multimodal foundation models, and a mechanistic understanding of how neural networks learn, forget, and break.
I previously spent 4 years as a researcher in Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) at Meta, as well as a brief stint in Facebook AI Applied Research (FAIAR). Prior to that, I studied at Duke University, of which I am a triple alumnus: I completed my PhD (+MS) while advised by Lawrence Carin, and before that, earned an ECE/BME double-major BSE. As an undergraduate, I was able to work on image processing with Guillermo Sapiro and brain-computer interfaces with Leslie Collins.
Outside of research, I was a member of Sabrosura, Duke’s premier Latin dance troupe, and enjoyed playing Ultimate frisbee and tennis (though these days I quite enjoy pickleball). I also enjoy mentoring: I’ve mentored and advised many students over the years through Engineering a Community, Engineering Alumni Council, and E-team. I’ve also served as an interviewer for Duke undergraduate admissions.
