About
I am a Research Scientist and Group Leader at the Institute of Advanced Intelligence and Computing (IAIC), 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.
Specifically, we develop computational models that learn structured representations of the real world from images, videos, and multi-modal data, enabling simulation, forecasting, and asset generation in 3D environments.
Research themes
- 3D vision and scene understanding
- Generative models for 3D / multi-modal generation
- Structured representation learning from multimodal data
- Generative world modelling for simulation and forecasting
I am always looking for motivated PhD students. Scholarships are available link. Self-funded students like CSC are also welcome. Feel free to drop me an email. Kindly note that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
