I’m building tools powered by the latest AI models.
Hey, I’m Di. I'm the CEO of a startup, White Tower. I write here about what I’m exploring, building, and learning along the way.
We are currently building with a group of curious people. Our goal is to make creative work an order of magnitude easier, so anyone can turn their ideas into real things. What once required rare skills, expensive tools, or a full production team can now start from a single idea.

I’m building tools powered by the latest AI models.
2022 - 2025
My Ph.D. focused on deep learning for 3D vision. I was advised by Wanli Ouyang and worked closely with Tong He.
2016 - 2020
This was where I first got into AI. I was not originally studying computer science, but I gradually dropped most of my other classes to focus on deep learning.
During my Ph.D., I explored how AI can understand the physical world through space, shape, and motion. Representative work includes Ponder, NeuRodin, and Depth Any Video.
