I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, HKUST advised by Prof. Qifeng Chen.
Before joining HUKST. I spend two wonderful years in Huya as a computer vision engineer led by Xintong Han and Jia Xu.
I was an intern at Tencent AI Lab advised by Yibing Song and Wei Liu.
Meanwhile, I have cooperated many times with my good friend Ziyu Wan.
My research interest includes 2D/3D Generation, digital human, neural rendering and contrastive learning.
I love fishing very much, and my dream is to go fishing all over China!
