Hi there!👋

I am currently an undergraduate student in Computer Science at Tongji University, and I am also currently conducting research at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Zhuowen Tu. During my first three years at university, I majored in Intelligent Construction in the College of Civil Engineering. Driven by research interests, I transferred to the CS major in April 2024 and will receive my Bachelor’s degree in June 2026.

I am also actively seeking PhD opportunities for Fall 2026! 🎓

Research Interests

My research focuses on building generative world models that enable AI systems to acquire spatial intelligence through structured and physically grounded multi-modal representations of the environment.

I am particularly interested in video action models that can reconstruct and synthesize coherent 3D/4D scenes from visual observations, with the goal of creating simulation-ready representations that serve as upstream data engines and training platforms for robotics and other embodied systems.
