About Me

I am a research engineer in the XR-Tech Core-AI team at Meta Reality Labs. Prior to joining Meta, I was a research engineer in the Intelligent Creation Lab at Bytedance / TikTok based in San Jose, CA, USA. Prior to that, I was a computer vision engineer at Matterport working on large scale high-quality 3D scene reconstruction and indoor touring. I graduated with my Ph.D. degree from Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Dallas, under supervision of Prof. Xiaohu Guo. Before that, I graduated with my master degree in computer science from School of Software under supervision of Prof. Yu-shen Liu and Prof. Jun-hai Yong, and my bachelor degree from Department of Automation, both at Tsinghua University.

My current research interests are mainly in computer vision and graphics area, specifically in talking head generation, human video generation, multi-modal motion synthesis and generative modeling.
