I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student (2024.06-2027.06 expected) at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), co-supervised by Dr. Jiangmiao Pang, Prof. Feng Zhao, and Prof. Dahua Lin. Prior to my Ph.D., I spent two years in the graduate program (2022.09-2024.06) at USTC under the supervision of Prof. Yongdong Zhang. I received my B.Eng. with honors from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2022.
My research interest lies in the field of Robotics, particularly VLA models, I also have research interests and experience in world model, image generation/editing and multimodal learning. I will be on the job market in 2027.
