Bio
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, advised by Alec Jacobson. My research interests are in Multimodal LLMs, Agentic AI, and Vision Foundation Models.
In 2024, I interned at Meta Reality Labs. In 2023, I interned at Adobe Research with Vova Kim, Matheus Gadelha and Zhiqin Chen. In 2022, I interned at Adobe Research with Vova Kim and Noam Aigerman. In 2021, I was an intern in the NVIDIA Seattle Robotics lab, working with Dieter Fox, Adithya Murali, and Balakumar Sundaralingam.
Prior to my Ph.D., I worked with Ming-Hsuan Yang, Jia-Bin Huang, and Yen-Yu Lin. I received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2018.
