📄 About Me

I am currently an Associate Professor at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing Normal University.

My research interests focus on human-centered computer vision and graphics, including motion capture, reconstruction, rendering, and the synthesis of digital humans. I work closely with Prof. Yebin Liu.
