Since the age of 13, deeply touched by Foundation by Isaac Asimov, my dream has been to create an AI who can think like humans (just like the dream of Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber). When humans perceive the surrounding environment, we see (2D vision), hear (audio), feel (tactile), and interact (3D vision) simultaneously to reason (language) and understand (neural signal) the world. Therefore, I conduct research on Multimodal Learning towards Multimodal Agentic AI. My research vision is to empower agentic AI with multimodal sensing and multimodal representations, enabling it to perceive, reason, understand, and interact with both the digital and physical worlds like humans do.

Specifically, my line of work in "Language for 3D Vision" (DepthCLIP, PointCLIPv2, WorDepth, RSA, Iris) explores how vision-language models can perceive and understand the world like humans do.
