I am a postdoc majored in AI at Peking University. Currently, I work at Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence, advised by Prof. Song-Chun Zhu . Before coming to Bigai, I graduated with a Ph.D. in Physics from Peking University.

Research

My research interests lie on Intuitive Theory in Cognitive Science. Currently, I work with Yixin Zhu on Violation of Expectation (VoE) projects for intuitive physics.

Intuitive physics is not really physics, but refers to the initial and fundamental human cognition of the world. I focus on how to build a machine to learn intuitive physical knowledge with human-like performance. This research not only helps to build a machine that thinks like a people, but also helps us to learn more about possible human cognitive simulations.
