Short Bio

I am a third year (2022.11-) ELLIS Ph.D. student at VCAI department of Max Planck Institute for Informatics, supervised by Dr. Marc Habermann, Prof. Dr. Christian Theobalt and Prof. Dr. Pascal Fua. I received my master degree in Computer Science from ShanghaiTech University in 2022, where I worked with Prof. Jingyi Yu and Prof. Lan Xu. Before that, I obtained my bachelor degree in Control Science and Engineering from Northeastern University in 2019.

My research interests lie at the intersection of computer graphics and vision, including performance capture, human-Centric 3D scene understanding, 3D/4D reconstruction and neural rendering. I enjoy exploring new things and ideas to create magic effects and useful applications in 3D vision, especially to capture and understand human with scenes.

The Dao (Tao) refers to the underlying principles that transcend physical forms, while the Qi (here translated as "the vessel" or "the instrument") refers to the tangible manifestations of those principles.

Dao (道): Underlying, metaphysical principles — the "why" behind things: values, laws, and fundamental order.
Qi (器): Concrete, practical manifestations — the "what" and "how": instruments, practices, and physical objects shaped by the Dao.

Real insight often emerges in the workshop of practice. As we wrestle with a specific, tangible problem, we may perceive a deeper pattern — a guiding Dao — beneath the surface. That discovery transforms how we face future challenges: rather than treating each problem as unique, we apply the revealed principle to anticipate consequences, design better interventions, and shape the outcomes of other, related issues.
