I am the Head of 3D Algorithms at ExcitAI, a rapidly growing startup specializing in generative AI technologies. My team is dedicated to developing cutting-edge solutions for human and animal reconstruction, aiming to create scalable, reliable digital assets that faithfully replicate real-world entities.

I earned my Ph.D. in 2025 from the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), where I conducted research in the Vision and Learning Group under Prof. Chao Ma. My doctoral work focused on face modeling and generation, including efficient geometry estimation and photorealistic texture synthesis, in collaboration with Prof. Jiankang Deng and Prof. Yichao Yan.

Prior that, I worked at Hytera Communication Cooperation for a year in 2017. I received a bachelor degree from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2016.
