Research Experience
Conducted research in the GrUVi lab, working on multiple 3D shape generation and detailization projects.
Education
Ph.D. in Computational Science from Simon Fraser University, supervised by Prof. Hao (Richard) Zhang; M.S. in Computational Science from UC San Diego, advised by Prof. David J. Kriegman; worked at Machine Learning, Perception, and Cognition Lab (mlPC), advised by Prof. Zhuowen Tu; B.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Fuzhou University.
Background
Research interests include geometry modeling, machine learning, and shape analysis. Particularly interested in building generative models for fine-grained, controllable 3D shape synthesis guided by geometry, images, or text. Also interested in image and video foundation models for customized content generation.
