Hi there! I am currently a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at ANU, supervised by Prof. Hongdong Li @ ANU, Amazon, Dr Zeeshan Hayder @ Google, ANU, and Dr David Ahmedt Aristizabal @ CSIRO.

My research focus is on diffusion generative modeling. Specifically, I have strong interest in diffusion dynamics on training / inference in image generation, language modeling, and representation learning.
