About Me

I am currently a Phd student in Max-Planck Institute for Informatics, advised by Prof.Karol Myszkowski and Prof.Hans-Peter Seidel. I also work closely with Prof.Ana Serrano and Dr.Thomas Leimkühler. I received the M.S. degree in computer engineering from Peking University, advised by Prof.Ronggang Wang, in 2020 and B.S. degree in information engineering from the University of Electronic and Science of China, in 2017. I was a Research Scientist Intern at Adobe’s Next Cam Lab from July 2024 to September 2024, working under my manager Marc Levoy and mentor Cecilia Zhang. Prior to that, I interned as an Algorithm Research Scientist at Tencent’s Robotics X Lab from December 2019 to June 2020, under the mentorship of Yonggen Ling. I had an academic visiting to Spatial Intelligence Lab from May 2016 to Sep 2016, advised by Prof.Ruisheng Wang.

Research Interests

Computer Vision: image generation, computational photography
Computer Graphics: nerual rendering, material appearance perception.
