UCLA AIVC Lab We are currently seeking several visiting students or research interns for Fall 2025 at the UCLA AIVC Lab! Projects will focus on 3D/4D content creation, embodied AI, robotics simulation, video synthesis, computational geometry, and VR. If you're interested, feel free to contact us.

I am a research assistant and an incoming Ph.D. student at the AIVC Lab at UCLA, advised by Prof. Chenfanfu Jiang. Previously, I received my M.S. in Computer Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), where I was advised by Prof. Cewu Lu, and my B.S. in Information and Computing Science from the School of the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). I also interned at ZenusTech, focusing on physics-based simulation and high-performance computing under the guidance of Xinxin Zhang and Xinlei Wang.

My research interests lie in physics-based simulation, tactile perception, and machine learning for robotics.
