About Me

I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. student advised by Prof. Ya-Qin Zhang at the Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR) and the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University. I previously obtained my Bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University. My research interests span computer vision and graphics, with a particular focus on inverse rendering, 3D scene understanding, and 3D AIGC. I am actively seeking postdoctoral opportunities starting in Fall 2026.
