I am a Staff Researcher in AI Technology Center at Lenovo. My work focuses on perception understanding for Lenovo’s frontier agentic system, developing next-generation multimodal vision systems that enable autonomous agents to perceive, reason, and interact efficiently with their environments.
I recently earned my PhD in Computer Science from Lehigh University, where I was advised by Dr. Brian D. Davison. My research foundation lies heavily in architectural and computational efficiency for vision-centric foundation models. I specialize in developing novel, lightweight architectures on edge device NPUs.
