Hi! I’m Haolan Xu (许皓岚), currently a visiting student in Michigan State University, working with Prof. Xiaoming Liu. Previously, I was a visiting student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working with Prof. Narendra Ahuja. Before that, I got my MSCS in University of Florida, working with Prof. Jorg Peters, and my Bachelor’s degree in Sichuan University.

My aim is to generate physically accurate 3D & 4D assets with scene awareness to help machines understand the world. I have been exploring the following research directions:

  • Inverse Rendering
  • Generative Models
  • Physics Simulation

Outside of work, I love traveling, NBA, and F1.

I’m happy to chat about research or anything else and eager for more collaborations on these topics. Feel free to reach out!

✨I am looking for research collaboration!!!✨
