I am currently a third year (2023.01-) Ph.D. student in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Prof. Yixuan Yuan. Before that, I received B. Eng. degree in Electronic Information Engineering from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2021.
I am broadly interested in building powerful, efficient, and robust intelligent systems that are capable of perception, generation, and interaction with the real world.
My current research highlights the following perspectives:
