I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Li Cheng at the Vision and Learning Lab, University of Alberta, Canada. My research focuses on open-world compositional modeling and spatial intelligence. I develop AI models that reason about objects, spatial relations, geometry, appearance, and motion toward reliable, controllable, and trustworthy AI systems that understand, generate, and interact with the physical world. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the GrUVi Lab, Simon Fraser University, where I worked with Hao (Richard) Zhang on compositional modeling for self-driving. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Science and Technology of China under the supervision of Nenghai Yu and Weiming Zhang. I also held a research internship with the Machine Learning Group at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA).
