About
I am a Research Scientist at the Institute for Infocomm Research (I²R), A*STAR, Singapore.
My research lies at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Generative World Modelling, with a focus on 3D vision and multi-modal generative models.
I develop computational models that learn structured representations of the real world from images, videos, and multi-modal data, enabling simulation, forecasting, and content generation in 3D environments.
Research themes
- 3D vision and scene understanding
- Generative models for 3D / multi-modal generation
- Structured representation learning from images and videos
- Generative world modelling for simulation and forecasting
I am always looking for motivated PhD students. Scholarships are available link. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested. Kindly note that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
