About me

I am currently a research intern in the Computational Biology Department, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, supervised by Dr. Min Xu. I am broadly interested in multimodal learning, generative AI, and large language models, particularly in how different data modalities and abstract concepts within them can be effectively represented to improve generation tasks.

Before this, I pursued a MSECE degree in Northeastern University and was fortunate to work with Profs. Yun Raymond Fu on developing digital avatar. My academic journey began at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and the University of Glasgow (UoG), where I pursued my undergraduate studies in Communication Engineering.
