Metric3D: General-purpose monocular metric depth estimation.
About Me
Tenure-track associate professor at the School of Intelligence Science and Technology, Nanjing University. I obtained my Ph.D. in 2023 from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Wenping Wang (IEEE & ACM Fellow) and Prof. Taku Komura. I received my bachelor's degree from Zhejiang University in 2018. My long-term research interests include robotics, spatial intelligence, and world models. I serve as an associate editor of IEEE TVCG, and Area Chair for 3DV and NeurIPS. My students won the 2025 ICRA and CVPR ManiSkill-ViTac robot visuomotor manipulation competition, and received the Grand Prize in the 2025 Challenge Cup "AI+" competition. I was selected as a 2025 WAIC Yunfan Award Rising Star and a 2026 China 3D Vision Outstanding Young Scholar.
Research
Our research direction is Physical AI, with a focus on 3D Vision, Humanoid, and World Model technologies. Our long-term vision is to develop general-purpose AI with physical perception and interaction capabilities.
