About

I am a Tenure-Track Associate Professor at School of Intelligence Science and Technology, Nanjing University, where I am a member of the 3D Vision Lab (NJU-3DV). Previously, I was a senior researcher at Apple, and a founding member of the startup company Altizure (acquired by Apple in 2020). I received my PhD degree from CSE, HKUST in 2019, supervised by Prof. Long Quan, and my bachelor degree from ECE, NJU in 2015 advised by Prof. Xun Cao.

Research

My research interests lie in intersections of computer vision, computer graphics, and generative models, with a focus on 3D reconstruction and generation. My representative works include the MVSNet series of works for learning-based multi-view stereo, the NeILF series of works for physically-based differentiable rendering, and the Direct3D series of works for 3D content creation. I have won the ICPR 2020 Best Student Paper Award, and is a recipient of the Excellent Young Scholars Fund (Overseas) from NSFC.

Openings

I am actively looking for prospective PostDocs and RAs to join my group. Please drop me an email with your research interests and CV if you are interested.
