👤 About Me

I am currently a Senior Applied Scientist at Amazon AGI, working on multimodal generative models. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. King Ngi Ngan and Prof. Thierry Blu and co-supervised by Dr. Songnan Li. I received my B.Eng. in Electronic Engineering from Tianjin University (TJU).

My recent work focuses on diffusion models, including image/video generation, and 3D object generation.
