I am a PhD student in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) at the Australian National University (ANU). I am also a research student at the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision (ACRV). I worked as a PhD Research intern at the autonomous driving company Nuro from June to November 2022 in Mountain View, California, and at Amazon on vision-language models from May to November 2024.

I am under the supervision of Prof. Robert Mahony at ANU. Prior to that, in December 2019, I received my bachelor’s degree of Engineering in Mechatronics with first-class honours in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at ANU.
