Open-source Community

I am currently pursuing my PhD at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where I work with Wanhua Li and Jianfei Yang.

I am also the Founder of OpenEnvision. OpenEnvision Lab is a joint research hub advancing open vision intelligence through academia-industry collaboration. We work closely with academic partners such as UC San Diego, UIUC, Princeton, NTU, and MMLab, as well as industry collaborators including Adobe and Meta. We continue to expand our impact through open-source projects and knowledge sharing. If you are interested in collaborating with us, feel free to contact me.

My research focuses on vision intelligence in multimodal systems, world models, and Phys AI, with broader interests in Generative AI and Efficient AI. I have published papers at top-tier conferences and serve as a reviewer for leading conferences and journals.
