Welcome to my homepage! I am Providence / 洪少观:

I am a second-year Integrated M.Phil - Ph.D Candidate at the School of AI & DS, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), advised by Prof. Jingrun Chen, and I also collaborate with associate researcher Congcong Zhu. If everything goes well, I will transfer to the USTC - CityUHK Joint Ph.D Degree Program in Fall 2027, co-advised by Prof. Gerhard Petrus Hancke and Prof. Rynson W. H. Lau at Department of Computer Science. I received my B.Eng degree with Honors in Computer Science from Yuan Longping Academy at Southwest University (SWU) in 2025.

My research centers on Physical Constitutive Representation Learning, with two main directions. The first is Physical Intelligence, bridging embodied simulation and real-world interaction to build interactive world models. The second is 3D Asset Generation for Game Physics Engines, focusing on reconstructing and generating 3D assets for physically based rendering, alongside feed-forward world reconstruction. I have published 2 first-author papers at conferences or journals such as AAAI 2026 and IJCNN 2024, and have also published 2 co-author papers, such as in RSS 2026.

I welcome research collaborations and opportunities to exchange ideas. I also welcome conversations about science fiction, classical Chinese poetry, and music composition. I am especially fond of Yu Li (李煜) and Guan Qin (秦观), and often return to Renjian Cihua (人间词话). My favorite films are Dune and Ready Player One. I hope to one day build an OASIS of my own.

“胭脂泪，相留醉，几时重。自是人生长恨水长东。”
“尽道有些堪恨处，无情，任是无情也动人。”
"This is the 'OASIS' world, where the only limit is your own imagination."
