About Me

I am a Research Intern at Tencent Hunyuan (青云人才计划 / Qingyun Top Talent Program), where I work on omni-video reasoning. Previously, I was a Remote Research Intern at Vision-CAIR, KAUST, advised by Mohamed Elhoseiny, and a Research Intern at SenseTime. I received my B.S. with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Management from Lanzhou University, China.

Research Interests

• Generative Models: Image Generation, Video Generation, Sequence Generation (ReChar_{SIGGRAPH Asia}, MeteoNet_CVPR, WikiAutoGen_ICCV)
• Vision-Language: Multi-modal Understanding and Generation (UFO_ICML, SVAgent_CVPR, MERMAID_EMNLP)
• Efficient: Multi-modal token compression for efficient modeling (Script_TMLR)

My long-term goal is to build general-purpose multimodal systems that can perceive, reason, and communicate effectively across visual, textual, and behavioral modalities in dynamic, real-world environments.

Feel free to reach out to me for collaborations, questions, or just to chat!
