I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor of the AI Thrust at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). I received my Ph.D. at School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, supervised by Prof. Miao Chun Yan. My co-supervisor is Prof. Guosheng Lin. I also work closely with Prof. Steven Hoi. I was an intern working with Jiashi Feng at TikTok, Singapore.

My general research interests lie in the development of AI-powered perception and generation algorithms for multimodal data, including text, images, videos, and 3D shapes. Recently, we are working on projects of 3D reconstruction and LLM-based agents. Please drop me an email if you are interested in collaborations.

Please check my recruitment page.
