About

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai AI Laboratory, co-supervised by Prof. Tianfan Xue and Prof. Leilei Gu. Before that, I received my bachelor's degree from Beihang University.

I previously worked as a research intern at the State Key Laboratory of Complex & Critical Software Environment, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jinyang Guo and Dr. Xingyu Zheng. I have served as a reviewer for ECCV and other conferences.

Research interests: World Models · Computer Vision · Computational Photography
