I'm a postdoc at Brown University, advised by Srinath Sridhar. I received my PhD from Nanjing University in 2023, supervised by Prof. Gangshan Wu and Prof. Limin Wang. My research focuses on perceiving and understanding the 3D world through both semantic and geometric approaches. Before coming to Brown, I was engaged in research on general and user-friendly novel view rendering methods at the Shanghai AI Lab. My long-term goal is to integrate these insights and methods to develop a more powerful 3D content creation system to facilitate the interaction in a virtual world.
