Research ScientistNVIDIA Research
I am a Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research, developing generalizable and agentic systems for robot learning and control. My work connects world–action modeling, embodied reasoning, and action to help robots understand physical dynamics, anticipate the consequences of their decisions, and adapt their behavior across tasks and environments.
I received my Ph.D. from National Taiwan University in July 2023, advised by Prof. Yu-Chiang Frank Wang. Previously, I was a research intern at NVIDIA Research (Feb.–Aug. 2023) and a Ph.D. program researcher at ASUS AICS (Sep. 2020–Oct. 2022), working on model personalization, vision-language models, and visual transfer learning.
I received my bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2018.
My research focuses on generalizable and agentic robot intelligence. I study world modeling and world–action modeling to understand physical dynamics, predict action outcomes, and reason through imagined futures. By connecting these predictive models with agentic robotics, I aim to build robots that plan over long horizons, learn from interaction, and adapt to unfamiliar tasks and environments.

World–action modeling that learns shared motion representations from human and robot videos, imagines their future consequences, and reinforces chain-of-dynamics reasoning by comparing imagined futures with observed outcomes.
A universal latent action space extracted from a pretrained video diffusion model, capturing motion shared across humans and robots for cross-embodiment video transfer, human-to-robot action transfer, and compact robot policy learning.

A physics-informed code-as-policy agent that actively measures hidden object properties through robot interaction, combining mass and stiffness estimation with multi-agent planning for targeted exploration and reliable manipulation.
A motion-centric video encoder that separates appearance from temporal dynamics using compact motion tokens. Temporal Transfer layers and Diff Compression improve motion-sensitive recognition with about half the encoder FLOPs of VideoMAE, V-JEPA 2, and DisMo.
Scalable online 3D reconstruction from long videos using multi-reference relative pose queries and online pose-graph optimization, with only about 1% additional parameters on a frozen backbone.
A slow–fast framework for real-time streaming video anomaly understanding. Lightweight detection preserves anomalous evidence in persistent memory and triggers heavyweight reasoning only for suspicious events.
Compressing textual chain-of-thought into compact, verbalizable latents for efficient vision-language-action reasoning, long-horizon planning, and real-time robotic control.
An open vision-language-action foundation model for generalist humanoid robots, connecting language and visual observations to manipulation skills across embodiments.
A reasoning VLA framework that thinks before acting. Reinforced visual latent planning enables long-horizon manipulation, few-shot adaptation, and self-correction.
Reconstructing 3D scenes from casual, long, unposed videos and rendering novel views without camera calibration.
Customizing multiple subjects and their motion in text-to-video generation through disentangled appearance–motion learning and spatial-temporal composition.
Reliable concept erasing for text-to-image diffusion models using lightweight erasers.
Selective knowledge transfer from two teachers for continual learning with vision-language models.
Reinforced rationale prompting for natural-language explanations in visual question answering.
Language-guided transformer learning for multi-label image classification in a federated setting.
Client-specific prompt generation for efficient model personalization in federated learning.
Adversarial teacher–student representation learning for generalization to unseen visual domains.
