I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science Department, UCLA, advised by Prof. Song-Chun Zhu and Prof. Ying Nian Wu. I did my undergrad at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I have conducted research at Meta Fundamental AI Research (FAIR), Amazon AWS AI, and Google Brain/DeepMind.
My research interests include Representation Learning, Generative Modeling and Sequential Decision Making. Currently, my work focuses on recovering the abstract structure of high-dimensional and sequential signals in latent representations, with the aim of potentially explaining the emergence of the conscious mind. Previously, I worked on reinforcement learning and AutoML.
