I am a CS Ph.D student at the University of California, Davis, advised by Prof. Lifu Huang. Previously, I received my Master’s Degree at CS Department, Fudan University, advised by Prof. Weifeng Ge, and Bachelor’s Degree in the CS Department, Southeast University. My research primarily focuses on Multimodal Large Langauge Models and their broad applications (Spatial Intelligence, Video Understanding, Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation, etc.).
