We conduct research in the field of Computer Vision, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence. Our primary interests include:

• Computer Vision: Visual representation learning, visual automation, single-view and multi-view 3D acquisition, camera modeling, light modeling, and image enhancement.
• Robotics: Advancing robotic perception, control, and planning, enabling robots to operate autonomously in complex and unstructured environments.
• Artificial Intelligence: Efficient algorithms for supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, with a focus on exploring generative AI approaches for generalization, robustness, and scalability.
