Hi! I am a research scientist at OpenAI. I am a foundational researcher on 4o image generation! Previously I worked at character.ai and Google Deepmind on multimodal!

My work at OpenAI is featured by a live stream with Sam Altman, Gabriel Goh, Prafulla Dhariwal, Allan Jabri, and Mengchao Zhong to introduce and demo 4o image generation.

Over 130 million users generated more than 700 million images within the first 10 days of launch, sparked by a viral trend around generating images in the Ghibli style. The trend spread widely, reaching celebrities and even official government accounts on X. Feel free to check out my demo showcasing image upload and style transfer using 4o image generation.

Before joining OpenAI, I worked on audio generation at Character.ai. My work is presented as the first voice feature on Character.ai: Character Voice For Everyone. Before this, I worked in Google Deepmind on image perception. My models have been integrated in various Google Products for billions of users.

Google in Mountain View was my first full-time position after graduation. My education spans three continents, including studies in Australia, Canada, and China, focusing on general representation learning in machine learning and deep learning. Feel free to check out my Google Scholar which mostly reflect what I did during my education period of time.

Physically, I live in bay area. Virtually, you can find me on X.
