I am an Assistant Professor at Imperial College London. My research focuses on two main areas: (1) multi-modal foundation models, with an emphasis on perceiving, understanding, modeling, and replicating complex multi-sensory signals such as visual, acoustic, tactile, and EEG data; and (2) generative modeling of the physical world, with the goal of synthesizing scalable and reliable digital assets that reproduce real-world entities. My research is at the intersection of computer vision and real-world applications, striving to pioneer transformative technologies for social benefit. I actively serve as an Area Chair for leading conferences in computer vision and machine learning, including CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, and ICML. I am also an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and Neural Networks.

Previously, I obtained my Ph.D.(2020) from the IBUG group under the supervision of Prof. Stefanos Zafeiriou. My doctoral research focused on deep face analysis and modeling, encompassing efficient geometry estimation, robust feature embedding, and photorealistic texture modeling. I developed algorithms and systems (InsightFace) to capture, represent, and synthesize diverse human faces with high efficiency, robustness, and fidelity. Additionally, I worked in the field of visual representation learning and won many visual perception challenges (e.g., ImageNet and ActivityNet) in the past years.
