Nice to meet you! I am Nan Chen (陈南), currently a first year PHD student in C4G lab of HKUST, supervised by Prof. Wenhan Luo. Before joining HKUST, I obtained my Master Degree in USTC and B.S. degree in Artificial Intelligence (Honor class in Qian Xuesen College) from Xi’an Jiaotong University.

My research interests lie in interactive world model and controllable video generation.
