About Me

I am currently a senior researcher at Robotics X Lab, Tencent. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from City University of Hong Kong in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Jing Liao. Before pursuing my doctoral studies in Hong Kong, I spent two years as a Ph.D. student specializing in pattern recognition at the School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University (BUAA). Earlier, I earned my bachelor’s degrees in Engineering Mechanics and Business Administration (as a dual degree) from BUAA in 2018.

My research interests span machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics, large language models and robotics. Recently, my work has focused on 2D image editing; 3D/4D scene reconstruction, generation, and editing; as well as scene perception and interaction. I am also deeply interested in embodied intelligence and the development of world models that enable intelligent agents to navigate and interact effectively within complex environments.

If you would like to discuss research ideas or explore potential collaborations, please feel free to contact me.
