I am currently a Ph.D. student at the Multimedia Laboratory (MMLab), The Chinese University of Hong Kong, co-supervised by Prof. Wanli Ouyang and Prof. Xiangyu Yue. Before joining CUHK, I was a research assistant in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, working with Prof. Wenwu Zhu, Prof. Zhi Wang, and Prof. Yuan Meng. I received my Master's degree in Computer Technology from Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Zhi Wang. I won the Distinguished Master's Thesis Award of Tsinghua.
My research interests are in AI for science, efficient learning, multimodal learning, and generative learning. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research.
[2025/09] We have released two new works: (i) a technical report on a scientific reasoning LLM, featured on Huggingface DailyPaper and (ii) a comprehensive survey of scientific LLMs, available in this repo.
[2025/09] One paper got accepted to NeurIPS 2025.
[2025/08] One paper got accepted to IEEE TPAMI.
[2025/07] Two papers got accepted to ACM Multimedia 2025.
[2025/06] Two papers got accepted to ICCV and IEEE TMM, respectively.
[2025/03] Two papers got accepted to IEEE TVCG and ICME 2025, respectively.
[2025/02] Three papers got accepted to CVPR 2025. See you in Nashville!
[2024/12] Two papers got accepted to IEEE TMC and AAAI 2025, respectively.
[2024/07] One paper got accepted to ECCV 2024.
[2024/02] Two papers got accepted to CVPR 2024 and ICLR 2024 PML4LRS Workshop, respectively.
[2023/07] Three papers got accepted to ICCV 2023, ECML-PKDD 2023, and ACM Multimedia 2023, respectively.
[2023/06] I earned my Master's degree along with the Distinguished Master's Thesis Award!
