About Me

I'm a final-year undergraduate student at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) and a research intern at Everlyn AI. I'm fortunate to work closely with Prof. Ser-Nam Lim from University of Central Florida (UCF) and Prof. Harry Yang from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).

Previously, I was advised by Prof. Dian Shao from both NPU and Shanghai AI Laboratory, which contributed to my development in this field. I also worked with Prof. Mulin Chen and Prof. Xuelong Li from TeleAI, China Telecom, as well as Prof. Yuxuan Liang from HKUST(GZ).

As an EE major student, I have more than a passing interest in computer vision, and open to all forms of research collaboration. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in working with me! My research interests include:

  • Generation & Editing: generic, personalized
  • Video Understanding: multi-modal, fine-grained
  • Large Language Model: machine cognition, human-like LLM/Agent
