A final-year CS Ph.D. candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), specializing in building intelligent systems for continual perception, recognition, understanding, and prediction. Research interests include efficient continual learning, personal AI agents, image generation, and the emerging properties of large models. Strong background in fundamental vision tasks such as object detection and semantic segmentation.
Worked on text-to-video generation projects.
Bridged LLMs and Diffusion models to create a dynamic system for automatic and continual data generation to improve discriminative task performance.
Created a unified GAN framework for generating multiple image analyses with RGB images simultaneously and demonstrated the model's effectiveness in generating datasets for downstream tasks such as depth and normal estimation. Paper accepted to WACV 2024.
Engaged in human novel view synthesis and hair neural rendering under the supervision of Prof. Jingyi Yu. A paper accepted to ACM MM.
Oral presentation on Anytime Continual Learning for Open Vocabulary Classification.
Survey on Memory-Augmented Neural Networks with cognitive insights to AI applications.
