I am a PhD candidate in the Gradient Spaces Lab at Stanford University, working with Iro Armeni and Shuran Song. I am fortunate to be supported by the Stanford Graduate Fellowship (SGF) and the Stanford Robotics Center (SRC).

My research connects 3D vision, generative models, and robotics. I build generative models of geometry that register, reconstruct, and assemble 3D scenes and objects across sensors and scales, and I study how such models can help robots reason, plan, and act in the physical world.

Since June 2026, I have been a research intern at NVIDIA Cosmos Lab, working on World-Action Models (WAMs) for robot planning and control with Max Li and Ming-Yu Liu. Before Stanford, I received my M.Sc. in Computer Science from ETH Zurich and my B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Tongji University.
