Hi, my research focuses on advancing intelligent optical systems at the intersection of optics and machine learning. I pioneered the world’s first optical generative models, enabling energy-efficient generative AI with significantly reduced power consumption and carbon footprint. Previously, I led computational optics projects that were deployed in Huawei flagship devices, enabling high-quality imaging performance under tight hardware and computational constraints.
