I am an incoming final-year M.S. student in Computer Science at Brown University, advised by Daniel Ritchie, Thomas Serre, and George Konidaris. Previously, I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science from Fort Hays State University.
My research focuses on world models, generative modeling, and embodied intelligence, building systems that can reason about geometry, dynamics, and interaction in a human-like way. I am grateful to be supported by the ONR and REPRISM MURI, and the ANR-3IA Artificial and Natural Intelligence Toulouse Institute grants.
“Vutha” is my surname, “Chealyfey” is my given name and “Lyfey” is the name I usually go by. On a side note, my initials are “CV”, so I was destined to do computer vision. I am actively looking for PhD opportunities in the 2026-27 cycle to start in Fall 2027.
Feature-based Geodesic Interpolation for Diffusion and Flow Models
To be submitted
We study interpolation in diffusion and flow models by following feature-aware geodesic paths, which enables smoother and more semantically consistent transitions between generated images.
