About

Hi! I am a graduate student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Srinivasa Narasimhan and Prof. Aswin Sankaranarayanan. Previously, I obtained my bachelor's degree in computer science with the highest honor from Zhejiang University, where I am grateful to be advised by Prof. Yingcai Wu, Prof. Jake Zhao, and Prof. Chunhua Shen.

My research interest spans computational imaging, computer vision and graphics. My recent work models light-heat interactions from a physics-based energetics perspective, and explores how visuo-thermal sensing can enable novel vision and imaging systems. I have also been working on digital pathology for medical imaging. Previously, as an undergraduate, I worked on visual generative models and AI/VR for sports.

Miscellaneous

I love playing with cameras and enjoy a wide range of sports. I spent 5 lovely years with the Xiamen professional badminton team. Later in undergrad, I had fun building AI and VR systems for racket sports. Here's a snapshot of my sports journey:
