Hi there! I am an Assistant Professor at the AI for Science and Engineering Center, Shenzhen Loop Area Institute. Previously, I was a Postdocoral Researcher at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, working with Prof. Wanli Ouyang. I was a Research Fellow and received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science (Ph.D. advisor: Prof. Jing Liao) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) in 2023. I was a remote visiting PhD student with Prof. Saining Xie at NYU in 2023 for 8 months. In a previous life, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science and Technology (Elite Program) at South China University of Technology (SCUT) advised by Prof. Shengfeng He.
[Feb. 2026] I’m looking for potential collaborators (e.g., students passionate in system research). If you are interested in doing a PhD/RA/Intern with me, please feel free to reach out to me via email and maybe we can figure something out together :)
Research
I have broad interests in embodied AI for science, machine learning and computer vision. My research vision is to bridging data-driven intelligence and scientific discovery by architecting autonomous agent-driven scientific ecosystem (Multimodal literature/simulation/experiment) that integrates multi-scale foundation models (General/Domain/Application models), to accelerate the discovery of novel materials and chemical synthesis. In particular, my recent focuses are on topics:
- Embodied AI & AI for Science
- Multimodal Learning and Multi-scale Modeling
- Robust Learning on Imperfect 3D and Multimodal Data
