About Me

I am a second-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: foundation models, vision-language-action (VLA) models, world models, and world action models (WAM) for autonomous driving and embodied AI.
