Hello 👋

I was born and raised in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, a city blessed with multicultural food and people. This lovely city is closely developed with its neighbor, Singapore. I am a storyteller, researcher, AR/VR enthusiast. In my day to day routine, I always find myself manipulate image pixels directly from u_int8 buffers.

Academic Profile

I am currently a graduate student in the Wyant College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. I earned my Master’s degree from the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University. My research interests lie in the general area of head mounted displays, particularly in computational optics, human visual perception, computational imaging, and AI-enabled display systems, with a focus on next-generation wearable displays and perceptually optimized rendering. Previously, I worked with Song-Hai Zhang, Prof. Jiang-Tao Wen, and Prof. Wei-Chuen Yau
