My research interests center on AI for inverse problems and sparse reconstruction, numerical simulation, and multiphysics. I am also interested in embodied intelligence and robotics.
I continue to collaborate with the CAB Lab at Princeton University following my exchange there in spring 2026.

NeTMY combines neural fields with differentiable physics for sparse reconstruction, revealing how forward-model fidelity and neural parameterization shape inverse optimization.
Advisor: Prof. Christine Allen-Blanchette · Mentor: Tao Zhong
I led NeTMY's physical modeling and neural-field design (Feb–Jul 2026), investigating how forward-model fidelity changes reconstruction behavior and why neural parameterization mitigates center collapse. Our ongoing collaboration explores equivariant models for learning physical structure in acoustics and weather modeling.

I developed a CNN surrogate to infer cell-wise correction coefficients from temperatures on two opposing surfaces, addressing non-orthogonal mesh errors in finite-volume heat-transfer simulations. I led the implementation, including ANSYS mesh parsing, and benchmarked the model against least-squares-based methods on simple 3D geometries.
