I am a 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), AWS AI, and Google Brain.
My research interests include Representation Learning, Generative Modeling and Sequential Decision Making. Currently, my work focuses on generative models and representation functions that can recover the structure of high-dimensional signals in latent spaces, with the aim of potentially explaining the emergence of the conscious mind. Previously, I worked on (inverse) reinforcement learning and AutoML.
