He was born in 1996 in Henan, China. He graduated from Dalian University of Technology (DUT) in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in computer science and technology (Outstanding Graduates of Liaoning Province), supervised by Prof. YANG, Xin. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2022, supervised by Prof. WONG, Tien-Tsin. From 2022 to 2023, he was a researcher and developer at PICO Mixed Reality, Bytedance. Since November 2023, he joined Tencent as a senior researcher, leading an effort on Generative World Models, including 3D from Images/Videos, Novel View Synthesis, and Video Generation.

His works have been selected as Best Paper Finalist in ICCV'2023, and Best Paper at PixFoundation workshop in CVPR'2025. He received the CCF Elite Collegiate Award in 2017. He has served as a reviewer for top-tier conferences and journals, including SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, EG, TVCG, IJCV, etc.

We have several open positions for research interns and full-time researchers. Feel free to drop me an email if you are interested.
