About me

I am an incoming PhD student at The University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof Hongyang Li and Prof Bin Chen. Before joining HKU, I worked as as a Research Assistant at 4DVLab with Prof. Yuexin Ma, where I collaborated closely with Dr. Xinge Zhu. I earned my BSc with first-class honours from the dual-degree program between Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Queen Mary University of London.

My work focuses on enabling AI to understand the 3D world like humans do, particularly in the field of autonomous driving, by developing algorithms with high generalizability, interpretability, and evolvability.
