I’m a second-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. I am an intern at International Digital Economy Academy (IDEA), advised by Prof. Lei Zhang. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Computer Science and Technology, South China University of Science and Technology in 2021.

My research interests lie in machine learning, computer vision, object detection, and multi-modal learning.
