Biography

Hi! I am a PhD student at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, where I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Stephan Goetz and advised by Prof. Per Ola Kristensson. I also work closely with Dr. Shangzhe (Elliott) Wu and Dr. Silvia Zuffi. My current research interests include 3D vision, world modelling, and spatial audio.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Imperial College London, where I was grateful to be supervised by Prof. Lorenzo Picinali and Prof. Aidan O. T. Hogg. For my undergraduate education, I received a BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from University College London, where I had the opportunity to work under Prof. Miguel Rodrigues.

If you would like to discuss related ideas or shared topics, please feel free to reach out by email. I am always happy to have insightful conversations and discuss potential collaborations. I also welcome review invitations for conferences and journals in related fields.
