Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University (BUAA), advised by Prof. Baochang Zhang. My research interests include 3D generation, neural rendering, and video generation. I received my M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Beihang University in 2021, where I was advised by Prof. Liang Wang and worked on mechanical design and embedded systems.

Introduction

My primary research interests span 3D generation, neural rendering, and video generation. My work focuses on advancing generative models for modeling, rendering, and synthesizing dynamic 3D scenes and interactive content, with the goal of driving real-world applications in world model construction and game content generation.
