About me

I am a research scientist at MiroMind, where I work on advancing large language models (LLMs), multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), and agentic systems. More specifically, my current research focuses on LLM / MLLM reasoning and agentic tool use.

Prior to joining MiroMind, I completed my Ph.D. through a joint program between Nanyang Technological University and Alibaba DAMO Academy. I was fortunate to be advised by Assoc. Prof. Shafiq Joty and Dr. Lidong Bing. During my Ph.D., my research centered on enhancing knowledge-augmented reasoning and safety of LLMs. Earlier in my academic journey, I earned a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in AI from Computer Science and Design (CSD) at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). I then spent one and half year working as a quantitative analyst in a commodity trading house and completed a Master of Computing degree at National University of Singapore (NUS).

We are actively looking for research interns and full-time researchers. We offer: (1) a supportive and collaborative research environment, (2) sufficient GPU resources, and (3) competitive compensation. If you're interested in working with us, feel free to reach out!
