About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the TSAIL Group at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, 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 NeurIPS, ECCV, ICLR, AAAI, IROS, and other computer vision venues. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Université de Montréal at Polytechnique Montréal.
