Welcome to my homepage! 🥰

I am a first-year academic master's student at the School of AI & DS, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Prof. Jingrun Chen, a National Distinguished Young Scholar. I also collaborate with Associate Researcher Congcong Zhu. I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science with Honors from Southwest University in 2025 and graduated from the Yuan Longping Top Program. In Fall 2027, I will join the CityUHK–USTC dual Ph.D. degree program in the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK). My Ph.D. advisors will be IEEE Life Fellow Prof. Gerhard Hancke and Prof. Rynson W.H. Lau at CityUHK, and Prof. Jingrun Chen at USTC.

I did research internships at top-tier research groups such as UBISOFT La Forge and iFlyTek Spark-LLM Team. I am also active in AI & Robotics competitions, currently a Kaggle Expert, and previously served as the algorithm leader and project manager of the SWU RoboMaster Team. I have published 2 first-author papers at conferences or journals such as AAAI 2026 and WCCI & IJCNN 2024, and have also published 2 co-author papers, such as in RSS 2026. I am currently seeking for research collaborations, feel free to exchange our ideas.

My research interests focus on Physical Intelligence and Physically Interactive World Models:

Video & 4D Representation Generation
Feed-Forward & Generative 3D Assets
Multimodal Learning & Robotics Perception
