I am a first-year CS Ph.D. student at the School of Data Science, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ), supervised by Prof Kui Jia. I received my Bachelor’s degree in University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC, 2014 - 2018), and Master’s degree in Nanyang Technological University (NTU, 2018-2019), Singapore. Before joining CUHK-SZ, I worked as a R&D engineer at DexForce Technology, where I lead the development of DexVerseTM, the world’s leading Sim2Real AI Platform for Embodied Intelligence.

My research interests are mainly in the following areas:

  • Systems:
    • High-performance Simulation Engine Architecture
    • Data and Model Training Systems for Embodied Intelligence
  • Simulation:
    • Generative Model for Simulation
    • Differentiable Rendering and Physics
    • GPU-accelerated Simulation.
  • Embodied Intelligence:
    • Physics-Structured Model Architecture
    • Online, Continual, and Lifelong Learning for Embodied Agents
    • Sim2Real Transfer and Domain Adaptation

Projects

EmbodiChain EmbodiChain: An end-to-end, GPU-accelerated, and modular platform for building generalized Embodied Intelligence

Description: EmbodiChain is a unified, GPU-accelerated framework designed for pushing the boundaries of embodied AI research and development. It integrates high-performance simulation, data collection via real-to-sim techniques, data scaling pipeline, modular model architectures, and efficient training & evaluation tools. All of these components work seamlessly together to facilitate rapid experimentation and deployment of embodied intelligence and perform Sim2Real transfer into real-world robotic systems.

Open3D Open3D: A Modern Library for 3D Data Processing
Website | Code

Description: The leading open-source library for 3D processing with 400K+ monthly downloads from PyPI. Open3D exposes a set of carefully selected data structures and algorithms in both C++ and Python for 3D data processing tasks including point cloud processing, mesh processing, and 3D visualization.
