About Me [CV]

Hi, I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Fudan University & SII (Joint Program), currently supervised by Prof. Pengfei Liu. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Fudan University. Previously, I worked with Qi Zhang, Fei Liu, and Jiaqi Wang.

My research centers on Multimodal Interactive Intelligence, with a particular focus on Multimodal LLMs and LLM agents. Please feel free to contact me for discussion and collaboration!
