👨‍🎓 About Me

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Beijing Institute of Technology, supervised by Prof. Heyan Huang. In the past, I got a Master’s degree in Advanced Design Informatics (MSc-21 months) at the School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Prof. John Vines. I spent four years of my undergraduate studies at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, advised by Prof. Yong Yue (岳勇) and assessed by Dr. Xiaohui Zhu (朱晓辉).

I was an intern in AI-generated content research at the State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University (浙江大学CAD&CG国家级重点实验室), advised by Prof. Xiaogang Jin (金小刚). In addition, I have also interned at companies like China Mobile and China Telecom in the past.

My research interest includes Human-computer interaction, Generative AI, Computer Vision, and Multimodal.

I come from Quanzhou, Fujian, China. I have a passion for travel and photography (my favorite photos from my travels will be shown at the bottom of the webpage). My current aspiration is to design better interaction tools between humans and generative AI.
