About Me

I am currently serving as the Algorithm Team Lead at TopXGun (Nanjing) Robotics Co., Ltd. in China, where I lead a small team focusing on SLAM, Perception, 3D Reconstruction, and Coverage Path Planning for UAV autopilot systems. Previously, I received an M.Sc. in Multimedia Information Technology from the City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Ho Man Chan, and a B.Eng. in Electronic Information Engineering from Nanjing Tech University.
My research interests lie in SLAM, Spatial AI, and Robotics, particularly in the following areas:

Multi-sensor fusion SLAM and Structure-from-Motion (SfM).
Feed-forward 3D reconstruction, such as 3D Gaussian Splatting and VGGT.
Cross-view and cross-domain place recognition.
