PhD Student in Computer Science · University of Southern California

I am a CS PhD student at USC, advised by Prof. Yue Wang. I received my bachelor's and master's degrees with the highest honor from Tongji University. My research interests lie in computer vision and robotics, where I focus on developing scalable and generalizable AI systems for perceiving and interacting with the real world. My work is supported by the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship 2024 and Capital One Fellowship 2025.
