Biography

I am now a fourth-year PhD student at University of Hong Kong and HKU-MMLab, fortunately supervised by Prof. Ping Luo and co-advised by Prof. Wenping Wang and Xiaoou Tang. I work closely with Prof. Alex Wong and Dr. Wenqi Shao. My current research focus is on unsupervised 3D scene understanding and its application in autonomous driving and embodied AI.

Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree in Automation at Zhejiang University with an honor degree for the Mixed Class at Chu Kochen Honor College. At ZJU, I worked under the supervision of Prof. Rong Xiong and Yue Wang.
