Biography

I'm a third-year PhD candidate of ECE at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Prof. Ping Tan. I was an RA at Tsinghua University advised by Prof. Li Yi and Prof. Yang Gao. I obtained my M.S. from Beihang University, and B.Eng from Northeast Normal University.

My research interests are broadly in computer vision, with a focus on text-to-image generation (T2I), AI-generated content (AIGC), multimodal large language models (MLLM), unified understanding and generation models, etc.
