My core research interest is to achieve an object-level SLAM system that works robustly in a dynamic environment. My interests expand to its applications in robotics, AR/VR, and also more general scene understanding and spatial AI.

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in discussing these topics with me.

I am currently a Postdoc fellow in the Autonomous Space Robotics Lab (ASRL) of University of Toronto with Prof. Tim Barfoot.

I obtained my PhD at Imperial College London (PhD thesis) in 2022, supervised by Dr. Stefan Leutenegger and Prof. Andrew Davison. Before that, I received my Master degree in Precision Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2017, supervised by Prof. Atsushi Yamashita and Prof. Hajime Asama. Before that, I got my Bachelor's degree in Information Engineering from South China University of Technology in 2014. I also did a research internship at Facebook Reality Labs with Dr. Lingni Ma during my PhD.
