About me
Hi, I am Wish (Peter) Suharitdamrong.
I’m a PhD student at the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI (PAI), University of Surrey, supervised by Dr. Sara Atito, Dr. Muhammad Awais and Dr. Xiatian Zhu. My research focuses on multimodal foundation models across vision, audio, and language, particularly multimodal large language models and multimodal representation learning. I previously completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Surrey, where my master’s project was also supervised by Dr. Muhammad Awais and co-supervised by Tony Alex. Before that I completed a BSc in Computer Science at Surrey, supervised by Prof. Zhenhua Feng.
I’ve been working on multimodal problems since the start of my deep learning journey: my undergraduate dissertation focused on audio-visual talking face generation, and my master’s dissertation explored parameter-efficient fine-tuning of vision-language foundation models for multi-task visual grounding.
