About me
I am a Research Fellow at Monash Suzhou and an Adjunct Lecturer at Monash University, where I lead the Geometric Vision and Robotics Lab.

My research covers visual geometry and low-level vision, including depth estimation, stereo matching, 3D reconstruction, and embodied AI for navigation and manipulation. Among these, image-guided surgery is our flagship research area, supported by the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province (江苏省自然科学基金, Grant No. BK20250441) and the Suzhou Industrial Park University Cooperation and Development Bureau.

If you're interested in working with me, please send your CV and transcripts to xuelian.cheng@monash.edu.
