Focus
Human Behavior & Physical AI

Toward machines that understand and generate human behavior.

I am a PhD student at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University, supervised by Prof. Huaizu Jiang. Before that, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Hangzhou Dianzi University.

My research centers on character animation, physics-based simulation, and human behavior modeling, working toward physical AI. In my spare time I take photos and videos — some of my small works are on my personal blog.
