I am currently a senior researcher in Media Computing group at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). Prior to joining MSRA, I was a researcher / alogrithm engineer in Graphics AI team at Kuaishou Technology (Kwai Inc.) from 2019 to 2020.

I got my Ph.D. degree from the joint Ph.D. program between Unitersity of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and MSRA in 2019, under the supervision of Dr. Baining Guo and Dr. Yong Wang. I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Eletronic Engineering also from USTC in 2013.

As a part of the MSRA-USTC Joint Ph.D. program, I was a long-term research intern in Internet Graphics group at MSRA from 2014 to 2019. During the internship I was mentored by Xin Tong and Yue Dong, and also collaborated with Lvdi Wang, Peiran Ren and Pieter Peers closely.

(Here is an article about my wonderful internship experience at MSRA.)

My current research interests are multi-modality, 3D generative models, and neural rendering. I also have worked deeply in the field of material appearance modeling and 3D reconstruction. I have published 20+ papers at top-tier conferences and journals such as SIGGRAPH, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, etc. Please drop me an email if you are interested in research internships or collaborations.
