About Me

I am currently pursuing a PhD at the School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) under the supervision of Prof. Yanyong Zhang. Prior to that, I received my B.E. degree in 2020 also from School of Computer Science and Technology at USTC.

My research interest includes:

  • LiDAR-based SLAM
  • Calibration
  • 3D GS and NeRF
  • Manipulation
