Research Experience

  • June 2024 - Aug. 2025
    Research Assistant
    Visual Intelligence Lab, Northeastern University — Advisor Prof. Huaizu Jiang
    • Introduced SNAP, the first unified segmentation model capable of handling diverse point cloud domains (indoor, outdoor, aerial) while supporting versatile prompt types such as spatial points (clicks) and text for flexible object segmentation.
    • Introduced Struct2D, a perception-guided prompting framework that unlocks spatial reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) using structured 2D representations.
  • June 2024 - Dec. 2024
    Research Assistant
    TACO Group, Texas A&M University — Advisor Prof. Zhengzhong Tu
    • Presented a novel perspective for protecting personal images from malicious editing, focusing on making biometric features unrecognizable post editing.
    • Developed FaceLock, an algorithm incorporating facial recognition models and feature embedding penalties to effectively protect against diffusion-based image editing.
    • Conducted a crucial analysis of the quantitative evaluation metrics commonly used in image editing tasks, exposing their vulnerabilities and highlighting the potential for manipulation to achieve deceptive results.
  • Sept. 2022 - Mar. 2023
    Research Assistant
    Embedded and Pervasive Computing Lab, HUST — Advisor Prof. Xianzhi Li
    • Modified a few-shot learning framework for 3D Instance Segmentation (3DIS) to address the high cost of collecting sufficient annotated point clouds.
    • Utilized a Transformer Decoder to generate differentiated kernels to perform instance-wise dynamic convolution.
    • Implemented the model using Python and PyTorch, improving mean Average Precision (mAP) by 3.2 percent on the ScanNet V2 dataset.

Working Experience

  • May 2023 - July 2023
    Assistant Algorithm Engineer
    Research & Development Group (RDG), iFLYTEK
    • Worked on a 3D Instance Segmentation project combining clustering- and Transformer-based methods, achieving 0.796 on the ScanNet V2 AP50 benchmark (surpassing the prior state-of-the-art of 0.787).
    • Modified the indoor scene instance segmentation model to improve performance on outdoor scene datasets.
