PhD Student, UCL


I am a PhD student at UCL. Previously, I received a master’s degree from Tsinghua University. During the past few years, I have the pleasure in working with Cengiz Öztireli (University of Cambridge), Raoul de Charette (Astra-Vision Team, INRIA Paris), Ming-Hsuan Yang (UC Merced), Bolei Zhou (UCLA), and Yulun Zhang (ETH Zürich).

My research seeks to marry the worlds of computer science and human cognition to create intelligent systems that enhance and augment human perception and creativity. I work at the intersection of Computer Vision, Human-Computer Interaction, and Neuroscience. The goal is to manifest and recreate the world through imagination by developing models that encompass various multisensory perceptual data as multi-modal control factors, including visual, auditory, and tactile inputs.
