I am a final-year PhD student at School of Informatics in the University of Edinburgh, fully funded by EPSRC CDT-Robotics and Autonomous Systems. I am supervised by Dr. Laura Sevilla and Prof. Timothy Hospedales, and also work closely with Dr. Varun Jampani and Dr. Deqing Sun.

My research interests include Human-Object Interaction, Embodied AI, and Multi-Modal Learning. Currently, I am working on “Affordance learning from limited supervision”.

:loudspeaker: I am actively seeking AP/PostDoc/Research Scientist for Fall 2025. Please feel free to reach out for available positions or potential collaborations.
