About

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), co-advised by Prof. Xiaowen Chu and Prof. Haoang Li.

Previously, I obtained my B.Eng. with First Class Honours from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT). I was part of the accelerated track program, completing my undergraduate studies half a year early under the supervision of Prof. Jianxing Liu.

My current research interests lie at the intersection of Embodied AI and Video Generation. My long-term goal is to build intelligent robotic assistants capable of understanding and interacting with complex household environments and unstructured manufacturing scenarios.
