Senior Lecturer

ARC DECRA Fellow

Monash University

I am an ARC DECRA Fellow and a Senior Lecturer (equivalent to Associate Professor in the U.S. system) at the Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Max Planck Institute for Informatics from 2018 to 2019 and a Lecturer at The University of Melbourne from 2020 to 2022. I currently holds an Honorary Fellow position at The University of Western Australia. My main research topics include Human Action Understanding, Video Analysis and Multimodal Large Language Models.

I am actively seeeking PhD students in the areas of Multimodal Large Language Models, Action Recognition, and Image/Video/Motion Generation. If you are interested, feel free to reach out!
