About

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Virginia, advised by Dr. Sheng Li. Prior to that, I received my bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering from Southeast University. I am interested in multimodal large language models, image generation and representation learning of non-stationary data.

I also spend time at Amazon Search Science & AI and Adobe Research as a Research Scientist Intern. Additionally, I am engaged in our startup.
