About Me
I will join in Multimedia Lab (MMLab) at Chinese University of Hong Kong as a Postdoctoral Fellow, working with Prof. Xiangyu Yue.
In 2025.06, I received my PhD degree in Department of Computer Science, Beijing Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Jianbing Shen. In 2019.06, I recevied my Bachelor degree from the Class of Xu at the same university.
My current research interests lie in vision-language learning, multimodal large language models (MLLMs), and embodied agents. (1) During my graduate studies, I focused on building intelligent perception models that understand visual and linguistic information. (2) More recently, I’ve been exploring decision-making systems capable of actively interacting with both humans and dynamic environments. Ultimately, my goal is to develop human-like agents that can perceive real-world environments and make autonomous decisions, moving us closer to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). Two articles that have deeply inspired my thinking are The Bitter Lesson and The Second Half.
I am always open to collaboration and discussions about the latest advancements in the field. Feel free to reach out!
