“Information is the resolution of uncertainty.” — after Claude Shannon

A frame mostly re-measures what the previous frame already established; the new information lives in change. I build imaging systems that sample the world on its own clock, measuring its fast, faint dynamics with a fraction of the light and data.

I am a researcher at the National Institute of Informatics (NII), hosted by Prof. Imari Sato, measuring fast physical phenomena in continuous time. Before joining NII, I was a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Boxin Shi at the National Engineering Research Center of Visual Technology, Peking University, focusing on high-speed, low-light photography with neuromorphic cameras. I received my Ph.D. and B.Eng. from South China University of Technology under Prof. Yong Xu, working closely with Prof. Hui Ji and Prof. Yuhui Quan on optimization and image priors for inverse problems.

My research interests include:

Sensing on the world’s clock: asynchronous detectors (event, spike, and single-photon) as continuous-time instruments, maximizing information per timestamp to reconstruct the field between and beyond frames.
Time-coded illumination: physical quantities written into time and read back from timestamps: shape, spectrum, and vibration at high speed.
Physics-guided generative priors: zero-shot reconstruction where paired data cannot exist at scale, from photon-starved scenes to unconventional sensors and imaging beyond photography.
