Biography

I am now a fourth-year PhD student at University of Hong Kong and HKU-MMLab, fortunately supervised by Prof. Ping Luo and co-advised by Prof. Wenping Wang and Xiaoou Tang. I work closely with Prof. Alex Wong, Dr. Wenqi Shao and Huan Ling. My current research focus is on unsupervised 3D representation learning and its application in autonomous driving and embodied AI.

Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree in Automation at Zhejiang University with an honor degree for the Mixed Class at Chu Kochen Honor College. At ZJU, I worked under the supervision of Prof. Rong Xiong and Yue Wang.
