I’m a third-year PhD (2021-now) student at the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, co-supervised by Prof. Heung-Yeung Shum and Prof. Lionel M. Ni. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Computer Science and Technology, South China University of Science and Technology in 2021.

I am currently an intern at FAIR MPK (Facebook AI Research, Menlo Park). I have interned at International Digital Economy Academy, Shenzhen (advised by Prof. Lei Zhang) and Microsoft Research, Redmond (advised by Dr. Jianwei Yang and Dr. Chunyuan Li).

I anticipate graduating in 2025 and am open to both academic and industrial research positions in North America and Asia. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me.

📌My research interests lie in visual understanding/generation and multi-modal learning.
