👋 About Me

I am a PhD student at Computer Vision Lab at the University of Virginia, supervised by Prof. Zezhou Cheng. My research interest lies in 3D Vision. Currently, I am a research intern at Uber, working on end-to-end autonomous driving.

Previously, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2023.
