I am a Research Scientist at Stability AI, focusing on 3D/4D generation tasks. Prior to this, I was a PhD student in the Vision and Learning Lab at UC Merced, supervised by professor Ming-Hsuan Yang. During my PhD, I was honored to work with Tony Tung and Nikolaos Sarafianos at Meta, Varun Jampani and Boqing Gong at Google, Jimei Yang at Adobe, and Chen Fang at ByteDance. Before my PhD, I received my MS in Computer Science from UC San Diego and BS in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University (NTU).

My research interests include weakly-supervised or unsupervised learning for video and 3D computer vision. My past experience spans the fields of video temporal consistency, object detection, domain adaptation, federated learning, as well as monocular 3D reconstruction of rigid objects, articulated shapes, and human bodies.
