I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Rama Chellappa (NAE). I also had the pleasure of collaborating with Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Alan L. Yuille and Prof. Vishal Patel.
During my internship with Microsoft's ASG group, I had the opportunity to work under the mentorship of Dr. Luming Liang.
I received my MRes degree with Distinction in Medical Robotics and Image-Guided Intervention from Imperial College London, where I had the privilege of being mentored by Prof. Guang-Zhong Yang (CBE, FREng). During my studies, I was also honored to receive the Hamlyn Prize.
My research interests span machine learning, computer vision, 4D human understanding, gait recognition, biometrics, large language models (LLMs), and medical image analysis, with a broader goal of developing intelligent systems that advance human understanding and improve human well-being.
