I am a Senior Applied Scientist at Oracle Health AI (OHAI), applying generative AI to the medical domain.

Previously, I was a research fellow at the Centre for Augmented Reasoning, Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) at the University of Adelaide, working with Prof. Anton Van Den Hengel on video generative models.


I maintain my publication record at Google Scholar. Source code for all first-author projects are available at GitHub.

News

Sep 2025 I have joined Oracle Health AI as a Senior Applied Scientist.

May 2024 I have joined AIML as a postdoctoral research fellow.

Apr 2024 I have received my award of PhD from ANU. A big thank you to my supervisors, my parents and all my friends for their kind support through this journey.
