OmniFaceRig: Fully Automatic Inner-Mouth-Aware Face Rigging Across Diverse 3D Character Topologies
SIGGRAPH Asia 2026
I am an AI Research Scientist at Meta, working on multimodal generative models and multimodal large language models. I obtained my PhD in AI at HKUST in 2025, advised by Prof. Qifeng Chen. I previously obtained my Bachelor's degree with highest honor from Computer Science program at Hongyi Honor College, Wuhan University (WHU) in China.
I was fortunate to have two Research Scientist Internships at Meta in 2025 and 2024, focusing on Social AI Agents and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). In Fall 2023, I visited Prof. Xiaolong Wang's group at UCSD. Before that, I was a Research Intern at the International Digital Economy Academy (IDEA), mentored by Dr. Yu Li, where I worked on motion generation. Before joining HKUST, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Qi Dou, Prof. Junsong Yuan, and Prof. Tomizuka.
My recent research interests include:
Image and video generation, embodied motion generation, world models.
Pre-training and post-training of MLLMs, unified visual understanding and generation, reinforcement learning.
Agent Post-training, Self-improving Agent, AI Scientist, Computer-Use Agent, Social Intelligent Agent.
World Action Models, VLA models, Diffusion Policy, Self-Driving, Humanoids.
