About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), advised by Prof. Shenghua Gao. I am currently a research intern at Tencent Hunyuan 3D, advised by Zhuo Chen and Chunchao Guo. Before that, I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Tianjin University.

My research is driven by curiosity, and I enjoy exploring different fields. My current research focuses on 3D generation. Before that, I worked closely with Prof. Hao Wang at HKUST(GZ) on 3D reconstruction and SfM/SLAM, and with Prof. Ying He at NTU on computer graphics.

Outside of research, I love playing 2D metroidvania and platformer games (e.g., I have unlocked all achievements in Celeste), as well as 3D souls-like games (e.g., I have spent 1,500+ hours in Elden Ring: Nightreign).
