About Me

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University, specializing in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Ruqi Huang at the Shenzhen International Graduate School.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Statistics from East China Normal University in 2022. In 2024, I was honored to receive the National Scholarship.

My current research interests center around Character Rigging and Animation, Motion Generation, and 3D Understanding within the context of Multi-Modal Large Language Models. My goal is to develop general-purpose motion foundation models for real-world applications in gaming and embodied AI systems.
