My current research interests are in the intersection of computer graphics and computer vision, where I focus on developing deep learning techniques for realistic image and 3D synthesis.
Mar 2025: My group currently have the following open positions to fill: a postdoctoral researcher, a research assistant, and a PhD student.
Please submit your application package directly to me via email. Kindly note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
Before joining TCD, I was a Research Scientist at VinAI, the first AI research lab in Vietnam with a focus on fundamental research in 2020-2023. I did my postdoctoral research on physically based rendering with Dr. Toshiya Hachisuka at the University of Tokyo, and on 3D deep learning with Dr. Sai-Kit Yeung at Singapore University of Technology and Design. I received my PhD at National University of Singapore in 2015, working with Dr. Kok-Lim Low.
