I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science of The University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Hengshuang Zhao. Before that, I have obtained my Ph.D. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), where I was supervised by Prof. Xiang Bai.
My research focuses on 3D Perception in Autonomous Driving, including 3D Object Detection, 3D Multi-object Tracking, Multi-modal Representation Learning, and 3D Point Cloud Analysis. Looking forward, my research interests will center on 3D Perception, Embodied AI, 4D Multimodal Large Language Models (4D MLLM), and 4D World Models.
