👋 Hi, I’m Gavin Sun (孙国栋)

I’m a PhD student at the Northwestern Polytechnical University, advised by Prof. Yuchao Dai. My research focuses on 3D/4D Reconstruction & Generation. I’m especially interested in developing robust and scalable methods for dynamic scene understanding, and exploring how tracking and generative priors can enhance 4D representations.
