About
Research Overview
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the UCLA SCI Lab, working with Prof. M. Khalid Jawed. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST in 2024, advised by Prof. Sai-Kit Yeung. From 2022–2024 I was a researcher at CFAR, A*STAR, Singapore under the A*STAR Research Attachment Programme, mentored by Prof. Qing Guo and IEEE Fellow Prof. Ivor W. Tsang.
My research develops visual perception systems that are robust in the wild — handling transparency, camouflage, dynamic 3D geometry, and uncontrolled field conditions. I build on foundations in 3D/4D scene understanding, point cloud learning, and vision-language models to enable reliable perception for autonomous robots and intelligent systems, including UAVs, Ground Robot, Robot Arms.
I have mentored 15 graduate and undergraduate researchers at UCLA and HKUST, co-organized workshops at CVPR, ICCV, and ACCV, and serve on the program committees of major venues including CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NeurIPS, and ICLR.
