I am now a research intern at Alibaba DAMO Academy. I am an incoming CS Ph.D. Student at Dartmouth.
I was previously a Visiting Student working with Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang at UC Merced and Prof. Chao Ma at AI Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I work closely with Dr. Lu Qi, Dr. Xiangtai Li at Tiktok. I was previously a Research Assistant at AI Thrust, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), supervised by Prof. Junwei Liang. I also work closely with Dr. Peijie Dong at HKUST(GZ). I got my master’s degree from The Chinese University of Hongkong, Shenzhen, advised by Prof. Xiaoguang Han. Before that, I received my bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
My previous research experience included Video Prediction, Weather Forecasting, Time Series Forecasting and Medical Image Analysis.
My long-term research interests lie in:
- Human-centric Video Generation
- Human-centric Video Understanding
