I am a Ph.D. student in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, working with Prof. Ali Mahdavi-Amiri and Prof. Richard Zhang on Computer Graphics research, focusing on Single View 3D Reconstruction, Primitive Fitting, and Generative Modeling.

I completed my M.Sc. at SFU studying sweep surfaces based shape abstraction, and previously earned dual degrees in Mechatronic Engineering (R&D) and Mathematical Sciences from the Australian National University. In my free time, I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, badminton, swimming, and hiking.
