About Me

I am currently a Perception Algorithm Engineer at Weride, a Tier-1 L4 autonomous driving company, where I work on traffic light detection and state estimation systems. I received my M.S. degree in Cyberspace Security from Beihang University (BUAA) in 2024, and my B.S. degree from the same university in 2021. During my master's study, I was a research intern at Tsinghua University working on wafer defect detection. I also spent time at Weride as an intern before joining full-time.

My current research interest focuses on World Models, particularly their applications in autonomous driving and embodied AI. I am interested in how world models can enable better understanding, prediction, and decision-making in complex dynamic environments.
