• I am a senior research scientist and engineer at Adobe Research (Image-Language Lab). I am also the core researcher and engineer of Remove Tool (Photoshop), and the tech lead of multiple generations of Generative Fill (Photoshop, Adobe Firefly). I received my Ph.D. from UIUC and was advised by Prof. Mark Hasegawa-Johnson. Before that, I was supervised by Prof. Thomas Huang(1936-2020). I was a research assistent at Image Formation and Processing Group IFP of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I received my Bachelor and Mphil. degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(HKUST), working at Neuromorphic Interactive System Lab (NISL) supervised by Prof. Bertram Shi.

• My current research interests lie in generative AI, especially multi-modal media generation and editing. I am actively taking summer interns, please reach out if you are interested in working with us.
