I am leading a research group in the RobbyAnt. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University working with Prof. Gordon Wetzstein. My current research focuses on 3D computer vision, graphics, and generative AI. I am particularly interested in developing powerful video and 3D generative models to perceive and generate rich 3D representations of environments and leverage them to understand, interact with, and reason about the 3D world.
I obtained my Ph.D. degree from CUHK Multimedia Lab (MMLab) supervised by Prof. Bolei Zhou and Prof. Dahua Lin, and a B.Sc. from Zhejiang University, working with Prof. Lechao Cheng and Prof. Chunguang Li. In 2018, I also spent a summer interning at UC San Diego, working with Prof. Hao Su.
