Shanghai Jiao Tong University
🔬 X-Human Lab
We have a light stage and a motion/volume capture device, several humanoid robots, and abundant GPUs.
📢 Opening Positions
We are looking for post-doc researchers, collaborating with Professor Xiaokang Yang!
I am a co-chair of the SJTU AIGC Class. Looking for self-motivated undergraduate and graduate students to work with me in 3D representation, AIGC, and embodied AI. For prospective students, please send your resume and transcript to my email.
📖 Biography
I am a tenure-track associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I received my Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2019, supervised by Professor Xiaokang Yang. I received M.E. from École Centrale de Lyon in France, and B.E. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2013. I was a research scientist at the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IIAI) from June 2019 to April 2021.
My research interests include:
- 🧊 3D Representation — neural rendering, 3D reconstruction, Gaussian splatting
- 🎨 AIGC — generative models, digital humans, face/body modeling
- 🤖 Embodied AI — humanoid teleoperation, human-robot interaction
