Biography

I am currently a 3rd-Year CS Ph.D. student (2020.11 - Now), working in Perceiving Systems, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), with Michael J. Black. As a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow (MSCA) of CLIPE (ESR 11), my Ph.D. topic is Image/video-based holistic modeling for the animation of body, face, hands, feet, clothing, and interaction.

I was briefly enrolled (2019-2020) as a Ph.D. student in Vision and Graphics Lab at University of Southern California, advised by Hao Li. 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 spent wonderful time at USC Institute for Creative Technology (USC-ICT) with Shunsuke Saito and Jun Xing, at Kwai Y-tech Graphics AI with Chongyang Ma, at LightChaser Animation Studio with Xinxin Zhang, and at Ubisoft La Forge.
As a Digital Human Researcher, I am focused on exploring the realms of 2D pixels and 3D voxels, revolving around the nexus of computer vision and graphics, particularly on Pixel-based/Text-guided 3D Human Digitization (incl. reconstruction, modeling, rendering and animation) and the estimation and tracking of 2D human poses. The next chapter of my research will delve into Compositionality.

I am seeking for a long-term (~6 months) internship opportunity after 2024 March (CV, Email), see my works at
