I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Augmented Reasoning, Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), working with Anton van den Hengel and Feras Dayoub. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from The University of Western Australia, supervised by Ajmal Mian, Mohammed Bennamoun, and Yongsheng Gao.

My research interests include embodied AI, vision-and-language, video understanding, and human–computer interaction.

I am always happy to discuss research and potential collaborations. Please feel free to reach out by email.
