I am an incoming PhD student. Currently, I work as a research associate at MMLab@NTU, S-Lab, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, under the supervision of Xingang Pan. I achieved my M.S. from Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences and B.E. from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics with Honors Distinction. I am the recipient of BSIG Outstanding Thesis Award (Graduate), Jiangsu Outstanding Thesis Award (Bachelor), and China National Scholarship (Bachelor & Graduate). I am fortunate to have internships at several leading research institutions, including MicroSoft Research Asia and SenseTime Research. My research experience focuses on controllable multimodal content generation, with a particular emphasis on implicit 3D representations and diffusion models.
My previous research mainly focused on these aspects:- Multi-Modal AIGC: Talking-Head Video, Text-to-Image/3D Generation, and Image-Driven Face Reenactment
- Trustworthy AIGC: Machine Unlearning, Adversarial Attack, and Backdoor Attack
- Robust Face Recognition System: De-Identification, Anti-Spoofing, and Deepfake Detection

I embrace Richard Feynman’s dictum, ‘What I can not create, I do not understand.’ This aligns with my technical roadmap of using generative AI to perceive, understand, and manipulate the 3D world. I will continue conducting research at the intersection of computer vision and graphics, especially in video and 3D generation, to create the 3D world from 2D pixels and realize creative human-centered AIGC.
Do not hesitate to drop me an email for any possible collaboration if you are interested in these directions:- Generative Models for 2D (Images/Videos), 3D, and 4D Content
- Neural Rendering (Quality, Diversity, and Efficiency)
- 3D Object, Scene, Human, and Human-Object-Scene Interaction
- AIGC Safety
- Robotics and Embodied Intelligence
