About

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, researching at the Next++ Research Center with Prof. Roger Zimmermann. My work focuses on multimodal understanding — teaching machines to ground language in visual experiences, generate structured scene representations, and reason across vision and language.

My research interests include video moment retrieval, scene graph generation, temporal grounding, and cross-modal diffusion models.
