About
I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UIUC, co-advised by Prof. Shenlong Wang and Prof. Alexander Schwing. I am grateful to be selected as Amazon AI PhD Fellow and Siebel Scholar during my graduate study.
My research lies in 3D vision, generative modeling, and multimodal learning. Previously, I worked on reconstructing, interacting with, and simulating the physical world. Currently, I am particularly interested in:
- Multimodal Perception: perceive the world through signals beyond pixels
- Unified Representation Learning: end-to-end learning objectives that generalize across modalities

HoloScene: Simulation-Ready Interactive 3D Worlds from a Single Video
We reconstruct simulation-ready and interactable digital twin assets from a single video.
PhysTwin: Physics-Informed Reconstruction and Simulation of Deformable Objects from Videos
We optimize a spring-mass physics model of deformable objects and integrate it with 3D Gaussian Splatting for real-time re-simulation with rendering.
AutoVFX: Physically Realistic Video Editing from Natural Language Instructions
A system that generates dynamic, physically realistic visual effects (VFX) on a single video solely from text-based editing instructions.
SPoVT: Semantic Prototype Variational Transformer for Dense Point Cloud Semantic Completion
A point cloud semantic completion framework that completes partial point clouds of 3D objects with a variational Transformer.
NeurMiPs: Neural Mixture of Planar Experts for View Synthesis
Uses an efficient 3D planar representation to model the geometry and appearance of a scene for novel view synthesis.
