Welcome to the Horizon Lab

where we explore nature’s mysteries, inspire inquisitive minds, and empower all forms of life

We are a group in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at University of Rochester. We are mostly drawn to research problems at the intersection of imaging (light transport, optics, and image sensors), human perception and cognition (psychophysics and computational modeling), and computer systems (computer architecture and programming systems). Ultimately, our research mission is to 1) discover new sciences to understand things we currently don’t and 2) build new engineering systems to do things we currently can’t.
