I am a Senior Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs. Before joining Meta, I was a Research Scientist at Snap Research. My work focuses on generative AI for digital humans and character animation, 3D embodied intelligence, and human–world interactions. Lately, I am especially excited about embodied 3D AI agents, physically grounded character animation, and environment-aware motion modeling. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Alberta, advised by Prof. Li Cheng. Earlier, I worked for two years in the Multimedia Group at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and earned my B.S. in Software Engineering 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.
