About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the TSAIL Group at Tsinghua University, working with Prof. Jun Zhu. My research centers on deep generative models, world models, and embodied AI, with a particular focus on video generation, efficient diffusion policy, and representation learning.

My work has been published at ECCV, ICLR, AAAI, IROS, and other computer vision venues. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Université de Montréal at Polytechnique Montréal.
