Esther Lin 林詠惠

I am a 3rd year Computer Science PhD student at the University of Toronto co-advised by Kyros Kutulakos and David Lindell.

My research interests include optics, computational imaging, computational photography, and sensing hardware. I primarily work on co-designing imaging systems and algorithms for sub-diffraction imaging.
