About Me

I am currently a Master’s student (from fall, 2025) at the School of Information at Renmin University of China (RUC) and a member of the Advanced Intelligence and MaChine Vision Lab (AIMC Lab), advised by Prof. Xirong Li. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree with distinction from the School of Data Science and Engineering at East China Normal University, where I was privileged to be instructed by Prof. Bin Yang and Prof. Ye Wang for research and engineering projects.

I will graduate with a Master's degree in June 2027, and I am actively seeking campus recruitment opportunities for LLM Algorithm Engineer (Multimodal Representation / Understanding). Feel free to reach out!
