Final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science

Biography

I am currently a final-year Ph.D. candidate at the CVML group of the National University of Singapore (NUS), supervised by Prof. Angela Yao. Before joining NUS, I earned both my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees at the VIPL research group of the Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), under the guidance of Prof. Xilin Chen and Prof. Ruiping Wang.

My research focuses on controllable video generation and human-centric 3D/4D vision. I study how to recover and decouple human motion, camera trajectories, and scenes from videos, and use these factors as independently editable controls to compose coherent videos. Building on this work, I am interested in world modeling and its potential applications to embodied intelligence. Previously, my master’s research explored semantic-guided few-shot learning.

I expect to graduate in early 2027 and am seeking full-time opportunities. Please feel free to contact me!

Earlier Projects

LoCoBot Project
We upgraded our robot to LoCoBot, a mainstream robot for robotics research, and added additional features to this Robot Vision Exploration Project. I designed and maintained the customized communication framework and the demo website.
Loomo Project
In this project we built an intelligent system based on a real robot (i.e., Loomo). I designed and maintained the customized communication framework that transfers data between Loomo and functional modules (e.g., 3D Reconstruction, Scene Graph, etc.) based on ROS.
