I am a research scientist at Meta Reality Lab. Previously, I spent a wonderful year at Snap Research as a research scientist. My research interests are in generative AI for digital human performance and character animation, focusing on 3D avatar animation, motion synthesis/stylization, and human-scene/object interaction. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Alberta, advised by Prof.Li Cheng. Previously, I had two-year research experience in the Multimedia Group at Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I received my bachelor's degree in Software Engigeering from Jilin University.

🔥 Our team is hiring research interns on human interaction, motion synthesis and character animation. I am also open to academic collaboration. Contact me if you are interested.
