About

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Huawei Canada, working on 3D computer vision and neural rendering. I completed my PhD in Computer Science (Computer Vision) at the University of Toronto, advised by Prof. Frank Rudzicz, where my thesis focused on self-supervised visual scene understanding using structured representations.

My current research centers on 3D Gaussian splatting and neural rendering — making high-fidelity scene reconstruction more compact, efficient, and controllable — alongside accelerating foundation-model and LLM inference. I also have a long-standing interest in representation learning, explainable AI, and applying machine learning to healthcare, from surgical skill assessment to clinical outcome prediction.
