About Me

I am a Research Scientist at Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI). I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I believe the ability to comprehensively perceive the world is central to next‐step general AI. Thus, my research focuses on enabling human‐like vision capabilities for machines, particularly in the areas of 3D scene understanding (e.g., reconstruction, grounding, human motion, and human‑object interaction).

Previously, I interned at Perceiving Systems, MPI for Intelligent Systems (advised by Prof. Michael Black and Prof. Dimitrios Tzionas), and Amazon (supervised by Li Erran Li).
