About me

I’m an Assistant Professor at Tsinghua University’s College of Artificial Intelligence, where I lead the MEOW (Modeling Egocentric Omni World) Lab.

Designing human-centered AI that sees through your eyes, learns your skills, and understands your intentions.构建能“看你所见、学你所会、懂你所想”的下一代人本智能系统。

I received my Ph.D. in Robotics from Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. James Rehg, and work closely with Prof. Yin Li at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I was fortunate to collaborate with Prof. Siyu Tang and Prof. Michael Black during visits to ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute.

Previously, I was a Research Scientist at Meta GenAI, focusing on egocentric vision and generative AI. During my internship at Facebook Reality Labs, I worked with Dr. Chao Li, Dr. Lingni Ma, Dr. Kiran Somasundaram, and Prof. Kristen Grauman on egocentric action recognition and localization.

I have been honored with Best Paper nominations at CVPR 2022 and ECCV 2024, and the BMVC 2022 Best Student Paper Award. As a primary contributor, I helped build Ego4D, Ego-Exo4D, EGTEA Gaze+, and BEHAVIOR Vision Suite. I also designed models intended for deployment in next-generation smart glasses developed by Meta Reality Labs. At Meta GenAI, I contributed to training and evaluating large-scale generative multimodal models, including Emu and the multimodal components of Llama 3 and Llama 4.
