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.
