I am a Senior Research Scientist at Institute for Infocomm Research, A*STAR. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at UCL, supervised by Prof. Massimiliano Pontil and an applied scientist intern at AWS Berlin, mentored by Dr. Cedric Archambeau.
I earned my Ph.D. in Machine Learning from Imperial College London, with supervision from Prof. Yiannis Demiris and Prof. Carlo Ciliberto, and was supported by the Singapore National Science Scholarship.
My research spans a range of machine learning topics, including representation learning, meta-learning, continual learning, and imitation learning. My primary aim is to develop robust ML systems that efficiently leverage existing model knowledge to address novel tasks and are capable of continuous improvements.
