Education

I am a second-year direct doctoral student at ETH Zurich, conducting research in Computer Vision and Learning Group (VLG) under the supervision of Prof. Siyu Tang. I completed my bachelor degree of computer science at Turing Class, Peking University, in June 2023.

Research

I’m currently a visiting student scholar at Stanford Under the supervision of Prof. Gordon Wetzstein. Early this year, I finished my internship at Google Project Starline.

Previous experience

During my undergraduate studies, I worked in Visual Computing And Learning (VCL) lab under the supervision of Prof. Baoquan Chen, Prof. Libin Liu, and Prof. Mengyu Chu. I had a great remote internship in 2022 summer with Lingjie Liu, Marc Habermann, and Prof. Christian Theobalt at MPI for Informatics.

Research Interests

For my research interests, I am interested in the intersection of computer vision and computer graphics. In particular, my current researches focus on neural scene representations, neural rendering, human performance capture and 3D reconstruction.
