I am a Senior Research Scientist at Apple, where I am tech lead for visual generation foundation models for Apple Intelligence.
I received my Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from Oregon State University, advised by Fuxin Li. During my graduate studies, I interned at Scale AI. I earned my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, with a minor in Mathematics, from Amirkabir University of Technology.
My research focuses on visual generation and world modeling, unified multimodal models, diffusion and autoregressive modeling, and representation learning. My earlier work also covers long-tail learning and interpretability.
