About Me

I am a Research Scientist at ByteDance America, working with Dr. Kai Zhang and Dr. Li Zhang.

My research focuses on efficient 3D visual representations and perceptual quality assessment. I work on compact 3D Gaussian Splatting generation and compression, quality assessment of 3D Gaussian Splatting, point clouds, and meshes, and immersive media streaming.

I received my Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and my bachelor’s degree from Xidian University.
