I am a second-year Ph.D. student with Visual Intelligence Lab at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), supervised by Prof. Shijian Lu. Prior to joining NTU, I obtained my B.S. degree in Computing Science from University of Alberta. I also work closely with Dr. Lidong Bing at MiroMind.ai and Dr. Song Bai when he was at ByteDance. My research broadly explores video-centric multimodal intelligence, spanning controllable generation, temporal reasoning, agentic tool use, and long-term memory.

Feel free to reach out to me for collaborations, questions, or just to chat!
