I am a research scientist at Sony Research, working on Computer Vision and AI Ethics. I received my Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, where I worked with Prof. Achuta Kadambi in the Visual Machines Group. Before that, I completed my bachelor's degree at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, advised by Prof. Wan-Chi Siu.
