I am a Ph.D. student at the State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City (SKL-IOTSC), University of Macau, advised by Prof. Jianbing Shen and Prof. Chengzhong Xu. Previously, I obtained my Master’s degree from the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), working with Prof. Jinqiao Wang and Prof. Ming Tang, and my B.Eng. degree from BUPT, working with Prof. Chuan Shi. I have also gained industrial experience at Li Auto, Xiaomi EV as a research intern.

My research lies at the intersection of Generative World Models, End-to-End Autonomous Driving, and Embodied AI. Currently, my primary focus is on enabling agents to achieve infinite driving and self-play within physically reliable, imaginative world models.
