Biography

I am a Staff AI Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs focusing on 3D Generative AI. Previously, I was a Senior Research Scientist with the Amazon GenAI (Evaluation Media) team, where I led the 3D Foundation Model group in enhancing consumer experiences through generative modeling. Prior to that, I was with Amazon Go Research in AWS, leading initiatives in 3D human/object modeling and video action recognition.

I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Derek Hoiem and collaborating closely with Prof. David Forsyth. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Zhejiang University under the advisement of Prof. Deng Cai.

If you're a self-motivated grad student seeking a publication-driven Meta internship, please email me your resume.
