Background
- Research interests lie in 3D computer vision and robotics. Current research directions include: Embodied AI (such as vision-language action/manipulation, vision-language navigation, humanoid perception and control), AI-generated content (such as 3D/4D scene synthesis), and 3D/4D reconstruction and rendering (such as Gaussian splatting/NeRF, dynamic SLAM, human avatar). Closely collaborating with Prof. Hesheng Wang from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Miscellany
- Continuously looking for Ph.D. students, Research Assistants, and Interns/Visiting Students working on the above directions.
