About Me
I'm a second-year Ph.D. student advised by Prof. Dan Xu at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I earned my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering from HKUST. I also spent a semester on exchange at ETH Zurich, where I was fortunate to work with Dr. Danda Paudel on 3D gaze estimation and eye modeling.
My research lies in Generative AI, with a focus on Controllable and Efficient image/video generation. More recently, I have been increasingly interested in how such generative models can serve for Embodied Intelligence. Feel free to reach out for discussions and collaborations.
