About Me

I am a lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Wuhan Institute of Technology. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology from the University of Science and Technology of China in December 2023, advised by Prof. Zhangjin Huang and Prof. Naijie Gu.

My research focuses on 3D vision and robot perception, with particular interests in category-level 6D object pose estimation, point cloud understanding, human-centered vision, and multimodal intelligence.
