My current research interest is to achieve an object-level SLAM system working in a dynamic environment. I am also broadly interested in SLAM, robotics and computational photography.
Brief Bio
I obtained my PhD at Imperial College London in 2022, supervised by Dr. Stefan Leutenegger and Prof. Andrew Davison. Before that, I received my Master degree in Precision Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2017, supervised by Prof. Atsushi Yamashita and Prof. Hajime Asama. Before that, I got my Bachelor's degree in Information Engineering from South China University of Technology in 2014. I also did a research internship at Facebook Reality Labs with Dr. Lingni Ma during my PhD.
