I am currently a third-year undergraduate at Zhejiang University, majoring in Software Engineering. I am also a research intern at ZJU3DV, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Sida Peng and Xiaowei Zhou.

I am actively looking for potential Ph.D. opportunities in the United States starting from Fall 2027, as well as internship positions in both China and the U.S. from now on. Feel free to contact me if you are interested!

News

[Feb. 2025] I joined ZJU3DV as a research intern!

Research

My research interests lie on the intersection of Computer Vision and Embodied AI. I am particularly interested in developing embodied simulation environments leveraging neural rendering techniques. I am also interested in 3D/4D Reconstruction & Generation to better model and generate dynamic scenes.
