Experience

  1. PhD Research Intern

    Dolby Laboratories – Advanced Technology Group (ATG)

    Mentor: Dr. Sri Harsha Musunuri Manager: Dr. Guan-Ming Su

    Responsibilities include:

    • Developed a geometry-guided framework to augment Video Large Language Models (VideoLLMs) with cinematographic camera motion understanding, resulting in a first-author publication accepted at CVPR 2026 Workshop PVUW.
    • Created a synthetic video benchmark using Unreal Engine 5 and designed probing experiments to evaluate spatial retention in vision encoders via Q-former.
    • Proposed a plug-and-play strategy that injects camera motion, framing, and spatial descriptors into VideoLLMs, improving reasoning for video captioning, VQA, and stylistic plagiarism detection.

  2. Moodle Software Developer and Technical Support
