Senior AI/ML Scientist at Macquarie University | Former Computer Vision Scientist at CSIRO Data61 | Adjunct Faculty at ANU

I am a Senior AI/ML Scientist at Macquarie University, former Computer Vision Scientist at CSIRO Data61, and Adjunct Faculty Member at the Australian National University (ANU). My expertise spans large vision-language models (VLMs), large language models (LLMs), generative AI, knowledge distillation, and incremental learning. With extensive experience in both research and engineering, I design and deploy scalable AI/ML solutions that bridge cutting-edge methods with real-world applications. My current focus is on bringing advanced AI into integrated circuit (IC) design and silicon platforms, leveraging deep learning and LLMs to accelerate chip design workflows and enable next-generation semiconductor innovation. My work spans academia and industry, combining top-tier research (publications, patents, and IP development) with applied impact. I am also deeply engaged in mentoring graduate researchers, leading cross-functional projects, and advancing ethical, robust, and adaptable AI frameworks across computer vision, multimodal learning, and generative technologies.
