Hi there 
Welcome to my Homepage!
I am an undergraduate (2022-2026) at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, passionate about Autonomous Driving and Computer Vision.
I work at AIR@Tsinghua with Prof. Hao Zhao and Autolab@WLU with Prof. Kaicheng Yu.
Currently I conduct the WM and E2E research at Neolix.
