Biography

I am currently a 3rd-Year CS Ph.D. student, working in Perceiving Systems, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, with Michael J. Black.

As a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow (MSCA), my Ph.D. topic is Image/video-based holistic modeling for the animation of body, face, hands, feet, clothing, and interaction (ESR 11), which is part of the CLIPE initiative and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.

I was briefly enrolled (2019-2020) as a Ph.D. student in Vision and Graphics Lab at University of Southern California before I decided to relocate at Tuebingen, advised by Hao Li (Now the CEO and Co-founder of Pinscreen). I got M.Sc. degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2019, working in Machine Vision and Intelligence Group, advised by Cewu Lu, and got B.Eng. degree in Digital Media Technology at Shandong University in 2016, worked closely with Lu Wang.

I also spent wonderful time at USC Institute for Creative Technology with Shunsuke Saito (Now the research scientist at Meta Reality Lab) and Jun Xing (Now the lead researcher of miHoYo), at Kwai Y-tech Graphics AI Team with Chongyang Ma, at LightChaser Animation Studio with Xinxin Zhang (Now the co-founder and CTO of Zenus), and worked as R&D intern at Ubisoft La Forge.

As a Virtual Avatar Researcher, I am focused on exploring the realms of pixels and voxels. My primary research interests revolve around the nexus of computer vision and computer graphics, particularly in relation to 3D human digitization (including reconstruction, modeling, and animation) and the estimation and tracking of 2D human poses.
