About Me

I am a Senior Researcher at Tencent, where I focus on advancing AI technologies for gaming and healthcare. I hold a PhD from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Pheng Ann Heng. My research interests span 3D understanding and generation, gaming agents, and foundational medical models. I am passionate about leveraging AI to create innovative solutions that bridge the gap between technology and real-world applications. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect and work together! 😃
