I am a researcher working on human-centric models and humanoid intelligence. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Hong Kong in November 2026, under the supervision of Prof. Taku Komura.
Research Themes
My research connects human prior models, world models, and humanoid intelligence.
Human Prior Model
Learning human representations from perception, motion and physical interactions.
World Model
Modeling 3D worlds and characters through generative dynamics and animation.
Humanoid Intelligence
Learning human-scene interaction, task planning and physically grounded whole-body behavior.

Openings / Collaboration
I lead research at the Miro-CGVU Joint Lab and help select research assistants for our group's collaborative projects.
Through these projects, we aim to prepare promising students for future MPhil or Ph.D. research in embodied intelligence. If you are interested in joining as a research assistant, please email wwj2022@connect.hku.hk.
