About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST, advised by Prof. Qifeng Chen. Previously, I obtained my M.S. from USTC, working with Prof. Jie Zhang and Chengjun Xie. I received my B.Eng. degree from Xiamen University in 2022, where I conducted research at the MOCOM Lab under the guidance of Prof. Yongxuan Lai.

My research passion lies in Generative AI. Specifically, I focus on building controllable and physics-consistent World Models for video generation. I also have extensive experience in low-level vision tasks such as image restoration.
