About

I am currently a Ph.D. student at Max Planck Institute for Informatics, advised by Gurprit Singh and Hans-Peter Seidel. Previously, I did my master at ETH Zurich, where I have worked with Byungsoo Kim, Guillaume Cordonnier and Barbara Solenthaler. I did my bachelor at Sun Yat-sen University, advised by Yanghui Rao and Ming Li.

My research focus on machine learning for efficient & controllable graphics content generation and editing (EG/CGF'22, EGSR/CGF'22, SIGGRAPH/ToG'23, SIGGRAPH'24,).

I am looking for an internship on diffusion models (few-step diffusion/fine-tuning/controllable generation), starting from late 2024 or early 2025.
