I am an incoming Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. I just received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA, advised by Prof. Demetri Terzopoulos. Previously, I conducted research at Meta FAIR, Amazon AWS AI, and SenseTime Research. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

I am broadly interested in fundamental problems in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, including Generative Modeling, Sequential Decision-Making, and Representation Learning, etc. My Ph.D. thesis is centered around the statistical and representational structures of latent-variable top-down models, as well as the associated inference and learning algorithms on various data modalities.
