Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5: 6-7
I am a research scientist at Meta, working on immersive 3D and 4D experiences. My research focuses on dynamic view synthesis and high-fidelity 3D scene representation.
I received my Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in 2022, where I was advised by Jia-Bin Huang. Before that, I earned my Master's degree from the University of Michigan and my Bachelor's degree from Oregon State University.

Road Trip
I enjoy road-trip as it's a great way to experience local customs. The spectacular landscape reminds me of how great our Creator is. One of my dreams is to visit all the 59 national parks in the US. I have visited 22 national parks already and am looking forward to my next journey. Here is a list of the national parks I've visited
Painting
I spent 6 years learning figure sketch, traditional Chinese painting , and Gongbi , specialized in Bird-and-flower painting . Through painting, I find inner peace. These days I enjoy drawing some anime characters for fun. Check them out.
Activities
I regularly engage in hiking, paddleboarding, and snowboarding. If you're in Seattle and enjoy outdoor activities, feel free to contact me.
Big fan of Rubik's Cube

5x5x5
Games
I'll call the following games Masterpiece because they change my perspective somehow.
The Mighty
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
