Video Synthesis and 3D Vision

alternative

I am a 4th-year Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland College Park, advised by Jia-Bin Huang. My research interests include 3D computer vision and video synthesis, particularly focusing on bridging visual generative models with dynamic 3D modeling and controllability.

My research collaborations include recent internship at Adobe (collaborating with Zhengqi Li and Eli Shechtman) and prior experiences as a student researcher at Google DeepMind (mentored by Forrester Cole and Erika Lu), and an earlier internship at Adobe (working with Feng Liu).

[New] I am seeking full-time industrial research opportunities beginning in Summer 2026. Please feel free to connect.
