📖 Biography
I am a tenure-track associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I received my Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2019, supervised by Professor Xiaokang Yang. I received M.E. from École Centrale de Lyon in France, and B.E. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2013. I was a research scientist at the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IIAI) from June 2019 to April 2021. I am a co-chair of the SJTU AIGC Class.
My research interests include:
- 🤖 Embodied AI — humanoid head modeling, human-robot interaction
- 🧊 3D Representation — 3D face/body reconstruction, Gaussian splatting
- 🎨 AIGC — generative models, digital humans
