Research
I’m a researcher at Apple with Stephan Richter and Vladlen Koltun. In the summer of 2023, I received my PhD in Robotics at Robotics Institute, CMU, advised by Michael Kaess. Before that, I obtained my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from Peking University, advised by Hongbin Zha.
Over the years, I have enjoyed collaborations with various outstanding labs, including
- 2022 at NVIDIA with Chris Choy and Anima Anandkumar;
- 2019-2021 at Intel Labs with Vladlen Koltun;
- 2019 and 2021 remotely at CV Labs, POSTECH with Jaesik Park;
- 2017 at CVG Group, ETH Zurich with Marc Pollefeys.
I work on realistic 3D reconstruction and view synthesis. My goal is to reproduce the physical world in the cyber space, and make it accessible to everyone: we can live and relive the past, present, and future lives, ours and others’.
