I currently serve as the Director of the Ambient Capture Group of ACE Robotics (大晓无限机器人) . Previously, I served as a Scientist (青年科学家) at Shanghai AI Lab, where I led the World Model Team.
I earned my Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore. One of my Ph.D. supervisor was Prof. Michael Yu Wang founding director of the Robotics Center at HKUST and currently Chief Scientist at Daimon Robotics , and another my Ph.D. supervisor was Prof. Chew Chee Meng who led Team RO-PE from NUS to win first prize in both "dribble and kick" and "Technical Challenge" in the adult-size humanoid league at RoboCup 2010 . Following my Ph.D., I had the privilege of joining S-Lab at NTU under the guidance of Prof. Ziwei Liu, where I spent truly wonderful research years.
My research interests mainly span 3D Vision, World Models, and Embodied AI. I continuously recruit full-time researchers/engineers and self-motivated interns ( especially those interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree ). Please feel free to reach out!
