Research profile
PhD researcher at Nankai University working at the intersection of 3D vision and robotics. I build world models, 3D reconstruction and generation systems, and closed-loop simulators for autonomous driving and embodied intelligence. My current work spans 3D Gaussian Splatting, SLAM, multi-sensor state estimation, and physically coherent simulation.
