Yudong Jin 靳宇栋

I am a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Xiaowei Zhou, mentored by Prof. Sida Peng. I received my M.S. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and B.S. from Xi'an Jiaotong University.

My research focuses on spatial intelligence, with a particular interest in lifting video models into 3D space to perceive our physical world. I am also passionate about open-source education and have built Hello Algo.
