I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST). I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from The Univeristy of Hong Kong (HKU), advised by Prof. Wenping Wang. I visited Visual Computing Group at Technical University of Munich (TUM), advised by Prof. Matthias Nießner. Before that, I completed my B.Eng. degree at Shandong University working on geometry and graphics. My research interests include Computer Graphics, 3D Vision, 3D AIGC, Geometric Modeling, and Human Computer Interaction.
Prior to joining MUST, I was a Lead Researcher of Graphics AI direction at miHoYo, and a Senior Researcher at Tencent IEG. I was selected for Tencent's Top Talent Program for Technology Elites. I am an organizer and co-founder member of AnySyn3D, a non-profit research interest group comprising individuals with a strong interest in exploring research problems and cutting-edge technologies in 3D AIGC.
