I am an incoming Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs with the XR Codec Interaction and Avatar (XRCIA) Action Decoder team, starting from August 2025.
Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate (5-th year) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from
Purdue University, under the supervision of
Prof. Karthik Ramani. I obtained my M.S. degree in ECE in
Georgia Institute of Technology, working with
Prof. Patricio Vela. Prior to that, I studied Instrument Science and Technology in
Beihang University and became a B.Eng.
My research interests lie in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI). Specifically, I study applied machine learning/deep learning algorithms and their applications across various platforms including Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Robots, etc. I enjoy building interactive systems that utilize the state-of-the-art AI algorithms, as much as I enjoy designing user-friendly interactions to deploy the AI in real world applications. Currently, I am studying the deployment and interaction design of generative AI in AR applications.
