Biography

🍀 I am a first-year CS PhD student at USC, advised by Prof. Yue Wang. I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Tongji University with the highest honor Academic Pioneer, where I worked in Vision4robotics Group directed by Prof. Changhong Fu. I have been fortunate to spend time at CVG Group in ETHz (under ETH RSF 2022), and MARS Lab in QiZhi Institute.
