Bryan Wong
Visiting Ph.D. Researcher @ A*STAR IAIC | Ph.D. Candidate @ KAIST
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Graduate School of Data Science (GSDS), KAIST, advised by Prof. Mun Yong Yi, and a Visiting Ph.D. Researcher at the Institute of Advanced Intelligence and Computing (IAIC), A*STAR, supervised by Dr. Xun Xu and Dr. Huazhu Fu.
I am grateful to be a recipient of the A*STAR Research Attachment Programme (ARAP) fellowship (June 2026 – Aug 2027), which supports my time at A*STAR IAIC.
My research centers on multimodal AI for gigapixel medical images, including vision-language models, multimodal LLMs, and agentic AI.
