About Me

I am currently a full-time RA at AIR Innovation Center, Tsinghua University, co-advised by Prof. Wenchao Ding and Prof. Yilun Chen. I am fortunate to work closely with Prof. Xiaoxiao Long from NJU, Prof. Ping Tan from HKUST and Prof. Hao Zhao from DISCOVER Lab. Previously, I was a visiting student at Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in my senior year. And I got my B.Eng. in Mechatronics Engineering from Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture.

I am an active member of AnySyn3D, a non-profit research interest group comprising individuals with a strong interest in exploring research problems and cutting-edge technologies in any topics of 3D.

I am actively looking for the Ph.D opportunity in Fall 2025.

Research

My long-term research goal is to build full-stack Embodied Intelligent Systems that connect Humans👫 - Robots🤖 - Real World🌏 by perception, interaction and simulation. So I am currently focusing on {3D Vision, Robotics, Graphics} for Embodied AI:

👀 3D Vision
3D Scene Understanding (e.g.visual grounding, dense captioning, VQA); 3D Multi-modal Learning; ~~Anomaly Detection~~.
🤖 Robotics
3D Vision-Language-Action Models; Uni/Bi-manual Manipulation (with grippers/dexterous hands); Autonomous Driving.
🪅 Graphics
3D Reconstruction and Editing, Video Generation.
