My research focuses on developing intelligent machines that can perceive, reason, and interact with the physical world through the integration of 3D vision, embodied AI, and physics-informed learning.

Research Vision

How can machines acquire human-like understanding of the physical world? We investigate this question from three complementary perspectives:

1. Geometric Intelligence: Understanding the structure and symmetry of the 3D world.

2. Embodied Intelligence: Enabling robots to learn, adapt, and interact with complex environments.

3. Physics-informed AI: Integrating physical laws with foundation models for scientific discovery.
