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 (vision), hear (audio), feel (tactile) simultaneously to reason (language) and understand (neural signal), then interact (action) with the world. Therefore, I conduct research on Multimodal Representation Learning towards Agentic AI. My key reserach questions are (1) how to obtain good multimodal representations for agents, and (2) how to use those representations to make agents better perceive, reason, understand, and interact with the world.

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.
