Profile
Welcome to my website.
- I am a researcher at FAIR, where I work on unified multimodal pre-training with Dr. Mike Lewis. I am also a final-year DPhil student in the Torr Vision Group at the University of Oxford, advised by Prof. Philip Torr.
- Previously, I worked as a research scientist at Cybever, a startup focused on 3D AIGC. I received my BSc from the Australian National University, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Dr. Lars Petersson, Prof. Hongdong Li, and Prof. Ian Reid.

Research Interests
My research focuses on multimodal foundation models, including multimodal large language models and generative models, as well as the interactions between them.
I am particularly interested in a vision-first path toward general intelligence, where visual pre-training plays a central role.
Multimodal foundation models
Selected projects: Visual priors in LLM pre-training, Llama 4
Generative models, especially 3D and video
Selected projects: Scaling up 3D generation, High-quality 3D asset generation, Scaling neural rendering
Integration and interaction between modalities
Selected projects: Unified pre-training, LLMs for 3D world modeling
