About Me

I am a Researcher Scientist of multimodal intelligence department at XPENG Robotics. We focus on cutting-edge technologies of embodied AI, including but not limited to embodied multimodal models, world models, spatial intelligence. Previously, I was a Researcher at Tencent AIPD. 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 multimodal understanding and generation, embodied AI, world models.
