Research Statement

My lab (SU Lab) works on Structure Understanding, Shape Understanding, and Scene Understanding problems that are relevant to artificial intelligence. I am interested in both theories and algorithms to address the problems. My publications are distributed in machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics, and robotics journals/conferences.

I am leading the construction of ShapeNet, a large-scale 3D-centric knowledge base of objects (SGP Dataset Award), and used to work on ImageNet, a large-scale 2D image database (PAMI Mark Everingham Prize).

Applications of my research include robotics, autonomous driving, virtual/augmented reality, smart manufacturing, etc.
