I am a final-year M.S. student in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University, advised by George Konidaris, Daniel Ritchie, and Thomas Serre. Previously, I have enriched my research experience at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Fort Hays State University (FHSU).
My research focuses on world models, generative modeling, and embodied intelligence, building systems that reason about physical dynamics and interaction to support planning and decision-making. 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 seeking for PhD opportunities during the 2026-27 admissions cycle.
Feature-based Geodesic Interpolation for Diffusion and Flow Models
Under Submission
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.
