My research aims to solve hard real-world problems. Currently, I am interested in intelligence inside the real physical world:
1. Real-world systems for robots and embodied equipment;
2. Agentic perception, CAD, simulation, and control, and their RSI;
3. World models and their continual learning in the real world, and 4D/3D vision.
I like solving hard and real problems, and inventing useful, inspiring, and elegant solutions.
Dr. Jiahui Lei is an assistant professor at Zhejiang University. Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher at BAIR, UC Berkeley, working with Prof. Angjoo Kanazawa and Prof. Trevor Darrell. He received his Ph.D. in 2025 from the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Prof. Kostas Daniilidis, and received the CIS department's Best Doctoral Dissertation Award. During his Ph.D., he was a student researcher at Google DeepMind, working with Prof. Leonidas Guibas. He received his bachelor's degree in 2020 from Zhejiang University, majoring in Automation (Control). During his Ph.D. and postdoc, his research focused on 4D vision, robotics, and equivariant networks.
My lab is part of the State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG and is well funded. I recruit Ph.D. and master's students every year (including foreign students), and offer long-term research assistant positions to ZJU undergraduates and students from other institutions. If you are interested, please email your CV with your projects (stating your own contributions). (Students with robot hardware and real-robot experience are especially welcome.)
