About Me
Hi, there! I am Shunlin Lu, a second-year Ph.D. student affiliated at School of Data Scienec (SDS), The Chinese University of Hongkong (Shenzhen). I am honored to be co-supervised by Prof. Ruimao Zhang and Prof. Benyou Wang. Previously, I obtained my master's degree from University of Southern California (USC) and bachelor's degree from Wuhan University of Technology. Recently, my research interests mainly lie in Humanoid Robot, Character Animation, Motion Generation/Understanding, Multi-Modal LLMs and Machine Learning. When I was in USC, I worked closely with Dr. Souvik Kundu (Intel AI lab). I had a wonderful time as a research intern at the International Digital Economy Academy (IDEA), working closely with Dr. Ailing Zeng and Prof. Lei Zhang. Now, I'm a research intern at Shanghai AI lab, working with Dr. Jingbo Wang. My reseach goal is to build a generalizable and robust animation system to serve for embodied intelligence and virtual entertainment. You can contact me via shunlinlu0803@gmail.com.
