Biography

I am a first-year PhD student at Rutgers University - New Brunswick. Fortunate to be advised by Prof. Chengzhi Mao, I am dedicated to bringing 3D Vision to the next stage, empowering it with spatial intelligence through Visual Language Models.

I have been working on Generative AI for 3D Vision, involving generation, inverse rendering, and geometric reconstruction problems. I had wonderful experiences during my internships at LightSpeed Studio Tencent, Microsoft Research Asia, and SmartMore. It has been my honor to collaborate with talented researchers at these institutions, including Yuhan Wang , Jinnan Chen, Jinglu Wang, Xiao Li , Shuai Yang and Jiangbo Lu.

Our lab is actively recruiting motivated interns. My research explores the synergy between LLM reasoning agents and 3D generative modeling. I am dedicated to advancing Embodied AI by empowering models with spatial intelligence, enabling them to reason about and synthesize the 3D world in more sophisticated, human-like ways. If you are interested in collaborating on these directions, please feel free to reach out via email.
