Biography

I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science department at University of Liverpool in UK, based off-site at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China. I am fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Kaizhu Huang, Prof. Rui Zhang, Prof. Qiufeng Wang, and Prof. Guangliang Cheng. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Information Science and Technology from Heilongjiang University and my Master’s degree in MRes Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems from University of Liverpool. Previously, I have worked or interned at DJI, Duke (Kunshan) University and Shanghai AI Lab. Feel free to contact me via email for discussions or any potential opportunities.

Research Goal:
My long-term research goal is to develop efficient and scalable 3D/4D vision models and deployable robotic systems for embodied spatial intelligence, enabling robots to perceive, understand, and interact with the real physical world.

Research interests:
3D/4D Vision: Point Tracking, Semantic/Instance Segmentation, Reconstruction and Generation;
Embodied AI: Dexterous Hand, Robotic Arm, Drone, Humanoid Robot; DP, RL, VLA

Recent News:
[Mar. 2026] Two papers has been accepted by SIGGRAPH.
[Sep. 2025] One paper has been accepted by IJCV.
[Jul. 2025] One paper on point cloud has been accepted by ACM MM.
[Feb. 2025] Two papers on point cloud has been accepted by CVPR.
[Aug. 2024] I got the 2st place in ScanNet200 3D semantic segmentation benchmark.
[Jul. 2023] One paper on point cloud has been accepted by ICCV.
[Jan. 2023] I got the 1st place in ScanNetV2 3D instance segmentation benchmark.
