I'm Jingwei Xu (you can also call me David), a first-year PhD student at Monash University, advised by Prof. Jianfei Cai and Prof. Tien-Tsin Wong. Before that, I received my MPhil degree from ShanghaiTech University, where I was supervised by Prof. Shenghua Gao and Prof. Xiaopei Liu. During my MPhil, I also visited UC San Diego, where I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Prof. Anpei Chen.

I'm interested in generative models that understand
how things work, not just how they look.

Concretely, I study how to generate objects with structure, precise geometry, and function: how they are composed of parts, how they move, and how they are assembled.

Feel free to contact me through email or wechat. But please let me know who you are.
