CV

Computer Vision Researcher Intern

Signapse

Six-month research internship at an AI sign language translation company, working on photorealistic real-time signing avatar rendering and data capture.

• Developed a custom implementation of an open-source 3D Morphable Model with 3D Gaussian Splatting for photorealistic real-time signing rendering, with a focus on human reconstruction
• Designed and built a 3-camera synchronized global-shutter capture rig, shipped abroad to record new sign language datasets, capturing over 30,000 glosses to date

Graduate Teaching Assistant

University of Surrey

Part of the team delivering labs for CS and EEE courses, providing lab instruction and technical mentoring.

• Delivered four lab series to cohorts of 50-200 students, including COM1031 (Computer Logic), EEE1035 (C Programming), and EEE2048 (Algorithms)
• Completed GTA training to enhance teaching, feedback, and teamwork skills

Summer Research Intern

University of Surrey

Research on multi-agent reinforcement learning strategies for UAV access control, with a focus on reproducibility and model efficiency.

• Reimplemented baselines from Matlab to PyTorch for reproducible experimentation and up to 50% faster training
• Designed and trained deep policy networks using DQN
• Evaluated agent coordination strategies in simulated environments

Associate Development Engineer

[Accepted BMVC] arXiv preprint

State-of-the-art 3D sign language production with explicit non-manual features: an autoregressive transformer over discrete FSQ-VAE motion tokens on an SMPL-X + FLAME morphable body model, evaluated on How2Sign, CSL-Daily, Phoenix14T, and NMFs-CSL.

SignSparK: Efficient Multilingual Sign Language Production via Sparse Keyframe Learning

[Accepted ECCV] arXiv preprint

Efficient multilingual sign language production from sparse keyframes: conditional flow matching with keyframe-to-pose editing, automatic sign segmentation, and 3D Gaussian Splatting rendering, across British, American, Chinese, and German Sign Language.
