I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in TVG, University of Oxford, working with Prof. Philip Torr.

I obtained my PhD from Show Lab, National University of Singapore in three years, luckily advised by Prof. Mike Shou.

I was fortunate to intern at Tencent / Meta AI / Meta Reality Labs / Microsoft Research.

My research focuses on multimodal intelligent agents.
