I am currently a senior undergraduate student at the Zhi Class of Peking University (PKU). I am conducting research at BAIR, advised by Trevor Darrell and XuDong Wang. Previously, I worked as a research intern at the Wangxuan Institute of Computer Technology (WICT), advised by Prof. Yang Liu and collaborating closely with the wonderful seniors Sizhe Lee and Zhu Xu.

My research interests lie primarily in Vision-Language Models and Generative Models. At this stage of my academic journey, my guiding aspiration is to empower artificial intelligence to create works of epic significance.

My CV is here. If you have interesting ideas or questions, feel free to reach out! πŸ“§
