I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science degree from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I worked with Mr. Yunze Man and Prof. Liangyan Gui .
I am broadly interested in computer vision, machine learning, and robotics,
with a focus on 3D spatial intelligence,
multimodal foundation models, and
self-improving learning.
My research aims to develop generalizable visual perception systems
that can learn and adapt with minimal human supervision.
My long-term goal is to advance visual perception and reasoning
for real-world embodied agents and autonomous systems,
enabling them to operate effectively in complex and dynamic environments.
We study Zero-shot 2D Grounding with Novel Affordance Types, where models localize affordances unseen during training. We introduce new benchmarks and propose AffordAnything and AffordAnything+ to generalize affordance grounding to novel affordance types.
We propose to study Auto-Vocabulary 3D Object Detection (AV3DOD), where the classes are automatically generated for the detected objects without any user input.
Our proposed model D-LISA has a novel vision module that allows for a dynamic number of proposal boxes and extracts features from dynamic viewpoints per scene. Furthermore, we propose a fusion module that is spatially aware with explicit language conditioning.
We propose a hyperspherical module which could be inserted into any existing encoder-decoder structure and consistently improve the point cloud completion result in both single-task and multi-task learning.
