Research
Three connected research threads
My projects are connected by one question: how can AI understand the physical consequences of actions in real-world environments?
02
Latent Action & World Models
Learning action-centric representations from video priors and modeling how possible actions transform future world states.
03
3D/4D Scene Understanding
Building geometry-aware scene representations for dynamic visual understanding, reconstruction, and embodied interaction.

S-Lab (MMLab), NTU
Jan 2026 – Present
Research Intern · Advisor: Prof. Ziwei Liu
- Co-led EgoTools, a 100+ hour multimodal egocentric dataset and 1K-question benchmark for tool-centric reasoning in real-world videos.
- Designed annotation and QA workflows, coordinated data collection and quality control, and contributed to model evaluation, failure analysis, and manuscript writing.
- Continuing follow-up research on egocentric tool use and embodied video reasoning.
