I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, advised by Prof. Saurabh Bagchi at Dependable Computing Systems Lab (DCSL). Before that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Nanjing University in 2020 and a Master's degree in Computer Engineering at New York University in 2022.

I spent a wonderful Spring semester at University of California, Berkeley as an exchange student in 2019.

My research focuses on intelligent computer vision systems.

3D Computer Vision --- Broad interest in multi-modal 3D scene understanding; current focus on collaborative perception for 3D/4D semantic occupancy prediction/forecasting among connected autonomous agents, integrating foundation models and generative 3D representations such as Gaussian Splatting.

Intelligent Vision Systems --- Research on resource-efficient deep learning for edge perception, emphasizing performance–resource trade-offs, energy and compute efficiency, communication limits, and real-time coordination across distributed platforms.
