01 Research

My research focuses on 4D world modeling, aiming to bridge faithful reconstruction and generative inference within a unified framework. My long-term goal is to build general-purpose world models that enable intelligent agents to not only perceive the world as it is, but also reason about what is unseen and anticipate how it evolves.

This vision aligns with emerging world-model efforts such as Genie 3 and PointWorld, which demonstrate the potential of world models to simulate interactive environments for scalable agent learning. My work lies at the intersection of vision foundation models, world models, and embodied AI, with applications in autonomous systems and robotics.
