About Me

I am a final-year undergraduate majoring in Electronic and Information Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). I am honored to be supervised by Prof. Kenneth Kin-Man Lam and collaborate closely with Dr. Jun Xiao on 3D vision. I am also grateful for the mentorship of Prof. Wenjing Jia at UTS, Sydney, on an international project focused on OCT image processing for medical imaging in 2024.

Since May 2025, I have also been working as a research intern at Sony in Beijing, focusing on 3D reconstruction.

My research interest includes computer vision and 3D reconstruction (e.g., image processing/super-resolution//restoration/enhancement, novel view synthesis). I am also actively learning generative models (e.g., diffusion models).

I am also a photography lover—check out my portfolio here!
