PhD Student · Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, CSP Group, at Imperial College London, supervised by Professor Pier Luigi Dragotti. My research interests lie at the intersection of generative diffusion models, implicit neural representations, synthetic simulation, 3D reconstruction, and immersive VR/AR systems. My current work focuses on developing diffusion models in continuous space.
Prior to Imperial, I obtained my BS & MS in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, and conducted computer-vision research at the Augmented Cognition Lab NU Boston. Other than academic works, I have also worked in the automotive industry and venture capital, focusing on AI & immersion.

US & CN Patents VR streaming · WebRTC/RTMP/RTSP · 360° Camera · Robotics
A VR teleoperation system that drives a real vehicle from inside a reconstructed virtual environment using a 360° camera, physical wheel/pedal rig, and Wi-Fi/cellular link. Integrates WebRTC-over-RTMP to minimise streaming latency and a robotic-arm rig to synchronise the operator's body movement with the vehicle.
