Biography

I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) supervised by Prof. Lei Zhu and Dr. Huazhu Fu. I obtained my Bachelor degree with honors in Artificial Intelligence at School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University in 2022. I also work closely with Dr. Angelica I. Aviles-Rivero, Dr. Shujun Wang and Prof. Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb at University of Cambridge.

My research interests mainly lie in Generative World Modeling, Medical Image Analysis, Low-level Vision.

I am on the job market for 2026. Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in collaboration.
