I am 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. My current research focuses on generative model and multi-modal learning.
I obtained my PhD from the Australian National University in 2024, advised by Prof. Stephen Gould and Dr. Damien Teney (Idiap Research Institute | AIML). My PhD surrounds multi-modal learning, in particular, vision-and-language, where I focused on a task termed composed image retrieval.
Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor degree in Electronics Engineering (R&D) with first-class honours from the Australian National University in 2018.
Research Summary
My research has focused on:
- multi-modal learning, in particular, vision-and-language tasks
- weakly-supervised learning
- generative model
I maintain my publication record at Google Scholar. Source code for all first-author projects are available at GitHub.
A record of news and recent publications are kept below.
News
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.
