I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Graphics&Geometric Computing Laboratory (GCL) at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) advised by Prof. Juyong Zhang. I obtained my bachelor degree in Mathematics in 2021 from USTC. I undertook an internship in Image Derivative Inc. during Oct.2021-Jan.2023. Currently I worked as a student researcher in Google, XR.

My current research interests mainly focus on:

  • 3D Representation and Generation
  • Video Generation and Editing
  • Multi-Modal Digital Humans

I'm the reviewer of SIGGRAPH, ICCV, TVCG, Pacific Graphics and 3DV.

I am looking for formal job opportunities in 2026!
