I am a postdoctoral researcher at Monash University in the Vision & Learning for Autonomous AI (VL4AI) Group, where I work on integrating natural language with sequential decision-making and embodied AI. I recently completed my PhD at the University of Melbourne, focusing on Integrating Natural Language for Sequential Decision Problems, under the supervision of A/Prof. Nir Lipovetzky and Prof. Trevor Cohn. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Honours) from the Australian National University, supervised by Prof. Jochen Renz.
