I'm currently a 3rd-Year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science, working with Prof. Taku Komura. My research lies in Human Motion and Virtual Avatar, I hope diverse human motions can be captured and reenacted into the virtual world to bring more fantasies to our life. For that, I am developing an advanced motion capture system and motion generation framework.

Before that, I got my B.Eng. and M.Sc. degree from Shandong University, supervised by Prof. Baoquan Chen. I spent three wonderful years(2017~2020) in Reality Capture Group in Beijing Film Academy and the CFCS in Peking University collaborated with the best research scientist Kfir Aberman.

Experiences

• 10/2022~03/2023, Pittsburgh, FAIR(Facebook AI Research) with Jungdam Won.

• 06/2020~10/2020, Shanghai, Electronic Arts with Sebastian Starke and Yiwei Zhao

• I enjoyed the time in CYENS, Tencent AI Lab and miHoYo.
