About Me

I am a research scientist with Tongyi Lab, Alibaba Group. I obtained my Ph.D degree from the City University of Hong Kong in 2024, advisor by Prof. Yixuan YUAN. I spent wonderful vacations as an intern at Alibaba DAMO, Meituan, Westlake University, and Horizon Robotics. Before that, I received B.Eng from Northeastern University in 2019.

Research Highlights

I am broadly interested in building powerful, efficient and robust intelligent systems that are capable of perception, reasoning, generation, and interaction with the real world. My current research highlights the following perspectives:

  • Multi-modal foundation model for understanding (MLLM), reasoning (RL) and interacting (VLA) from multi-modal information.
  • Generative AI to synthesize controllable image/video/3D/text content with diffusion and autoregressive model.
  • AI applications include healthcare AI, robotic learning, federated learning, etc.
  • Welcome all research collaboration, please don't hesitate to drop me emails if interested. Also feel free to discuss any interesting topics or questions related to AI techniques/engineering, starup, products and investment!
