About Me


I am currently a Research Scientist in Generative AI at ByteDance / TikTok, USA. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, in Dec. 2023. I was affiliated with Multimedia Laboratory (MMLab) and S-Lab, NTU, supervised by Prof. Chen Change Loy. I was a Research Scientist Intern at Adobe Research from May 2023 to Aug. 2023 and at Meta from Aug. 2022 to Jan. 2023. I received my bachelor’s degree from Jilin University in July 2019.
My research interests lie in computer vision, generative models, image and video synthesis with diffusion models, GANs, VAEs, etc.
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in collaboration / internship / full-time opportunities.
