I am a MPhil student at HKUST (Guangzhou) , supervised by Prof. Ying-Cong Chen.
I am currently conducting research in 3D vision, generative models, and neural rendering. My recent work focuses on 3D/4D asset generation, photometric stereo, and multi-view generation. If you are interested in academic collaboration, please feel free to contact me via email at jlin695@connect.hkust-gz.edu.cn. I am also open to research internship opportunities in related fields!
I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Jinan University (暨南大学), majoring in Electronic Information Science & Technology. During my undergraduate studies, I built a solid foundation in computer vision, computer graphics, and AI-driven 3D modeling.
