I am currently a Ph.D. student since 2023, advised by Prof.Peidong Liu, at the School of Engineering, Westlake University in collaboration with Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. My previous research focused on geometry and optimization problems in 3D Computer Vision. Recently, I have been attempting to build an intelligent agent, TIC, in a probability space. This framework involves three core sub-tasks: Transport (learning the dynamics of probability), Inference (inferring probability from observations), and Control (steering probability towards a target). Although these three tasks may seem independent, I hope to model and solve them under a unified language. This may give rise to a completely new interdisciplinary field that combines Generation (Diffusion Models, Flow Matching), Control (Stochastic Optimal Control, Reinforcement Learning), Sampling, Transport (Schrödinger Bridge, Trajectory Inference, Optimal Transport), Game (Mean Field Game), and Global Optimization.

Previously, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in the College of Electrical and Information Engineering from Hunan University, Changsha, China.

I also served as a reviewer for the CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, AAAI, ACM MM, 3DV, ICRA, IROS and RAL.
