I am currently a Ph.D. student enrolled in the Fall 2023 semester in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU).
Prior to joining HKU, I pursued my Master’s (MS) degree in the Department of Automation and Shenzhen International Graduate School at Tsinghua University (THU), specializing in big data engineering and exploring the field of computer vision for a duration of three years. I also hold a Bachelor’s (BS) degree in Electronic and Information Engineering from the School of Electronic and Optical Engineering at Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST)
.
I am fortunate to be under the guidance of Dr. Yifan (Evan) Peng from the WeLightLab@HKU in the EEE&CS department at HKU and advised by Kai Zhang from the Intelligent Transportation Joint Laboratory at Tsinghua University.
My research interests encompass Computer Vision (3D/4D), Computer Graphics (Rendering), VR/AR/MR, and Holographic Imaging/Display.
Currently, my work focuses on 3D/4D Scenes & Objects Reconstruction / Generation, with the applications in VR/AR/MR. I am also leading projects related to Visual-Language-(Action)-Models and exploring physically correct video generation.
