Biography

I am currently an associate professor at school of Intelligent Science and Technology, Nanjing University, Suzhou campus, where I work on computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning. I got my Ph.D degree from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology in 2020, supervised by Jian Yang. In 2019, I spent 10 wonderful months as a visiting student at MHUG group in Unviversity of Trento, Italy, supervised by Nicu Sebe. During 2020-2023, I worked as a staff research scientist at Tencent Youtu Lab.

My research interests include 3D modeling, rendering, frontier generative AI research / applications based on advanced large vision and language models. My long-term research objective is to create an interacitve world simulator from real-world knowledge and human prior. Specifically, I work on

• 3D digital human

• 3D Content Generation

• Spatial Intelligence
