I am a CS Ph.D. student (25Fall) at UT Austin, member of VITA,
and THE BEAST co-advised by Prof. Chenfeng Xu and Prof. Atlas Wang.

Previously, I was a research assistant at UC Berkeley, working with Prof. Angjoo Kanazawa, Prof. Kurt Keutzer, and Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka. Prior to that, I worked at NUS under Prof. Lin Shao. I received my bachelor's degree from the USTC.

Research

Coming from 3D vision, robotics, embodied AI, and efficient computation, I've converged on a single question: how intelligence can interact — efficiently, at low cost and in real time — with the real world: the physical environment, and the people in it. Building that means the full stack: the models, the hardware they fuse into, and the services that deliver them. Above all, I have a taste for the singular — technologies that don't optimize the current paradigm, but could define the next one, and set the terms of the conversation.

When I'm not doing research, I like to collect rare experiences and skills. For example, I once spent eight days cycling solo around Hainan Island—about 1,000 km— and I can perform Chinese sword dance.

If I have more free time, being “on the road” is my default: I wander through the corners of different cities and watch how people live; there are always unexpected people and moments around the next turn.

In truth, I mostly remain ignorant. Reading as I traveled a few years ago, after visiting thirty or forty cities, I realized I still don't understand my own country. Likewise—even if one day I visit a hundred countries, I still wouldn't claim to understand this planet; and in some farther future, even if I visit a hundred Earth-like planets, I still wouldn't claim to understand the universe.
