Hi, welcome to my homepage! I am a first year Computer Science Ph.D. student at UCLA. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Nanyun Peng and Prof. Kai-Wei Chang, focusing on problems in multimodal (language + vision) and embodied learning.

Recently, I enjoyed a wonderful 6-month visit to Stanford SVL, working with Prof. Jiajun Wu and Prof. Fei-Fei Li. I’ve also spend a wonderful summer at Prof. Heng Ji’s group at UIUC-NLP.
