👋 About Me

Greetings!

I am a Research Scientist at NVIDIA Deep Imagination Research. My long-term goal is to build general-purpose AI systems that seamlessly bridge multi-modal understanding and generation, advancing the frontiers of world models and physical AI.

I obtained my Ph.D. at the National University of Singapore. I feel incredibly lucky to be supervised by Prof. E. H. Francis Tay, collaborate closely with Prof. Li Yuan from PKU, and gain valuable experience working with Alibaba's Qwen, Everlyn AI, and A*STAR.
