Current Position

PhD Student NTU

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 a research intern at Tencent IEG-ARC Lab (now New ARC Lab) through the Qingyun Talent Program, mentored by Yeying Jin. I’m fortunate to work closely with Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang and Prof. Felix Heide, while also collaborating with Wei Xiong and Enze Xie at NVIDIA.

I am also the Founder of OpenEnvision. OpenEnvision 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 Nvidia, Adobe, Meta, and ByteDance Seed. 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.

I currently lead the development of WorldFoundry and WorldAtlas. Stay tuned!

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.
