I welcome collaborations that aim for high-impact research and contributions to the field. Please drop an email if you are interested in working with me.

Research Interest

My core research interest is human-centered visual computing, focusing on developing computer vision technologies to benefit human well-being.

Building on extensive experience in gaze estimation and human-computer interaction, I focus on embodied visual intelligence with holistic human motion modeling, including gaze, face, hand, and body. This work aims to enable intelligent human-AI interactions, forming the foundation of human-robot collaboration and dynamic avatar generation in XR environments. 

As a long-term vision, I seek to facilitate healthcare and medical-related research with computer vision and machine learning. My goal is to enhance human physical capabilities by integrating AI-driven assistive technologies.

Short Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at TU Delft, a Guest Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and an ELLIS Scholar.  I joined TU Delft in 2021 as an assistant professor and was granted a permanent position in 2023. I was a postdoc from 2018 to 2021 at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, led by Prof. Otmar Hilliges. I received my PhD (summa cum laude) from Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany, where I conducted my research from 2013 to 2018 under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Bulling.
