👋 I am a master student at Tsinghua University. My research interests span avatar animation, AI agents, AIGC, and embodied AI, especially in areas that have a strong connection to humans.
And would like to realize AGI for the benefit of humanity through generative AI.
My google scholar is here
🎓 I graduated first in my college (rank 1/233) with a B.S. in Software Engineering from Harbin Engineering University. I am now a master’s student at Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Ruqi Huang, and expect to graduate in Fall 2027.
🔥 I am actively seeking PhD positions starting Fall 2027 or RA/visiting student opportunities !
My current research focuses on understanding, reasoning, and generation for Avatar/3D/4D/video/animation, and I am particularly interested in spatial intelligence for embodied AI.
💼 I have some good friends (professors) who are recruiting Research Interns, as well as MS/PhD students and undergraduate research interns, and can provide competitive internship salaries or MS/PhD admission offers. If you are interested in 3D / VLM / video / animation generation and understanding, please feel free to contact me!
