Hi there, this is Xingrui! 👋

I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Alan Yuille. I am currently also interning with the GenAI group at AMD.

Before JHU, I obtained my Master’s degree from the University of Southern California, where I worked closely with Prof. Laurent Itti. Prior to USC, I received my B.S. in Statistics from Renmin University of China, where I was supervised by Prof. Hanfang Yang. I also spent time in the AI lab at the Samsung R&D Institute, supervised by Dr. Yang Liu.

Research Interest

My major research interests include 3D scene understanding, particularly in estimating objects’ 3D location and orientation using 3D generative models. Another key direction is 3D spatial reasoning for vision-language models (VLMs), where I am making progress in developing VLMs or benchmarks for 3D and 4D reasoning tasks.

I am also exploring generative models, including video generation and 3D objects generation.
