I am a Senior Research Scientist at Adobe Research. I received my Ph.D. from Yale University, advised by Prof. Holly Rushmeier and Prof. Julie Dorsey. Prior to Yale, I received my bachelor’s degree from Zhejiang University, where I was advised by Prof. Rui Wang.

My research focuses on 2D and 3D graphics, with a particular interest in generative AI for spatial content creation. At Adobe, we bring research prototypes into real-world creative workflows, with technologies shipped in Adobe Substance 3D, Firefly Services, Firefly Boards, and Project Aqua. Our work spans generative 3D asset creation, image composition, and spatial content workflows. Most recently, our research combining generative 3D AI with image editing led to Photoshop’s Rotate Object, enabling precise 3D-aware control of objects in 2D images. Our generative models have also been deployed in enterprise workflows, including Adobe’s collaboration with Disney Imagineering.

I am currently exploring generative world models and agentic workflows for visual content creation. I am open to collaborations and welcome strong Ph.D. students interested in research internships at Adobe Research.
