Biography

I am a first-year Ph.D. student of MMLab@NTU in the College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University, advised by Prof. Xingang Pan. Before that, I received my M.Sc. degree from Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Jun Zhu, and my B.Sc. degree from Instituto Superior Técnico. I also spent some time at Amazon Web Services, and at the SAILING Lab, Machine Learning Department, Carnegie Mellon University.

My research interests lie within the expansive fields of machine learning and deep learning, currently focusing on deep generative models and their rich applications for controllable multimodal generation.
