Wei Chow

PhD student in Computer Science, advised by Prof. Tat-Seng Chua

I am a PhD student at the National University of Singapore. My work focuses on physical perception for vision-language models, embodied AI, and controllable image editing, with the goal of helping multimodal models perceive, reason about, and interact with real-world dynamics.

After completing my undergraduate studies, I also went through a difficult period shaped by circumstances beyond my control, during which I served in Ethiopia as a Red Cross humanitarian aid member.
