I am a Senior Research Fellow at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore, where I lead multiple research projects spanning robotics and AI. I was a Visiting Researcher at Imperial College London in 2025–2026. My research interests include foundation models for robot planning, embodied AI, reconfigurable robotics, coverage path planning, and human-robot interaction. I have authored over 100 refereed papers, am an inventor of three patents, and have led the research execution of funded projects totalling over SGD 10 million.
