About Me

I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student at the University of Virginia advised by Prof. Zezhou Cheng. I do research in 3D Computer Vision.

Before joining UVA, I have completed master of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. I was a member of SLED lab. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Applied and Computational Mathematics Science at the University of Washington where I worked with Prof. Yunhe feng on Responsible AI.

Research Interests

My research centers on scalable approaches to 3D computer vision, language-grounded robotics, and visual world models. I am broadly interested in how visual foundation models can acquire persistent, dynamic, and geometry-aware world representations from real-world multi-view, video, and 3D data.

I currently focus on two themes:

• Developing vision-centric 3D/4D foundation models. I study how large-scale visual models can learn spatially grounded representations of static and dynamic environments, with an emphasis on multi-view perception, novel view synthesis, 3D scene understanding, and persistent visual memory.

• Grounding language concepts in 3D environments and robotic actions. I explore how language can be connected to 3D scenes, object affordances, spatial relations, and embodied actions, enabling agents to reason, navigate, and interact in complex physical environments.
