About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Xiang Bai. My research interests mainly lie in 3D vision, especially in 3D understanding and generative models.

Research Interests

3D Vision/Autonomous Driving/Embodied AI: 3D perception, point cloud analysis, 3D generation
Generative Models: world model for autonomous driving and general scenes
