I am a first-year PhD researcher at the Hamlyn Centre, Imperial College London, advised by Prof. Etienne Burdet and Prof. Liyun Ma. I am also a research member of GrowAI.

I completed my Master's degree (GPA 3.97) at New York University, guided by Prof. Claudio Silva and Prof. W. Russell Neuman. Prior to that, I received my BEng with First Class Honours (Top 10%) from the University of Liverpool, advised by Prof. Hai-Ning Liang, now at HKUST(GZ).

My research navigates the frontier where machine intelligence meets human experience — with a focus on video reasoning, brain-inspired cognition, adaptive interaction, and embodied healthcare systems.

I have been incredibly fortunate to learn from and work alongside exceptional mentors whose guidance has profoundly shaped my academic journey. I am currently exploring brain-inspired AI with Zijian Ding at UMD. Previously, I was a Research Assistant at the NYU VIDA Lab, contributing to the DARPA Perceptually-enabled Task Guidance (PTG) project under Prof. Claudio Silva and Prof. Jing Qian. I have also had the privilege of working with Prof. Yukang Yan (University of Rochester) and Prof. Xuhai Xu (Columbia University) on adaptive systems and reinforcement learning — both truly inspiring professors! My research journey began with Prof. Wenge Xu at Birmingham City University, where I first discovered my passion for VR/AR and human-centred design.
