Research Interest

My research interest lies in broad aspects of Machine Learning topics such as CV and NLP.

Currently, I focus on exploring and stimulating the Physical Intelligence of GenAI, e.g. Vision-Language Models and Generative Diffusion Models:

• Visual Grounding / Spatial Understanding of Vision-Language-Models
• Physical Alignment / 3D Consistency post-training of Video Diffusion Models
• Foundation Models for Embodied AI

Previously, I worked on adversarial attacks and defenses in GenAI, I did investigation in attacks and defenses for diffusion-based models, and developed several interesting algorithms: e.g. Diff-PGD, SDS-Attack, Diff-Pure and DP-Attacker.
