I am a first-year PhD student studying at Simon Fraser University, supervised by Prof. Jiangchuan Liu. I completed both my undergraduate and master’s studies at SFU, where I was placed on the Dean’s Honour Roll on multiple occasions. My research focuses on 3D visual perception and multimedia systems, particularly robust and efficient scene reconstruction in challenging real-world environments. I am also interested in 3D video streaming, image and video compression, and denoising. Outside of research, I enjoy hiking, chess, mechanical keyboards, and electronics.

Research Interests

3D Scene Reconstruction and Visual Geometry
Multimedia Systems and 3D Video Streaming
