Bio

I'm Hongwei Fan, a first-year PhD student at Peking University, advised by Prof. Hao Dong. My research interests are robotic manipulation, world model, and 3D vision. I graduated from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), working closely with Prof. Cewu Lu and Prof. Yong-Lu Li from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

This website was built upon LNMP and WordPress, with the theme Sakura installed. If you want to build your own personal website in this way, a detailed instruction is strongly recommended. Special thanks to the instruction of Seoimo and the theme of Mashiro.
