Biography

I am currently a PhD student in the School of Engineering at the HKUST, advised by Prof. DAN XU. My research interest is about talking head generation and image generation. I received my master's Degree in 2021 at Sun Yat-sen University, where I was advised by Prof. Wei-Shi Zheng and researched in video understanding. Before SYSU, I have completed my B.E. supervised by Prof. Sheng Bi at the South China University of Technology where I was working on the SLAM of mobile robot.

I am currently seeking a postdoctoral position starting in the second half of 2025. If you have any opportunities that align with my expertise, please feel free to reach out to me via email. :)
