I am a third year Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Rynson W.H. Lau. I have been fortunate to work with Tengfei Wang and Ziwei Liu from Shanghai AI Lab. I have also been lucky to closely collaborated with Nanxuan Zhao from Adobe Research. I received my B.Eng. degree from Xiamen University.

My research interest lies in the areas of computer graphics, computer vision, and human-computer interaction. Recently, I am working on AI-based visual content generation and manipulation, such as:

  • Image editing & generation with minimal annotated data, especially in the context of data-driven graphic design
  • 3D generative model conditioned on multi-modal inputs (e.g., text, image, 3D)

    • News
