About Me

I am an M.S. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Liyue Shen. I also work with Prof. Yingbin Liang at The Ohio State University. Before that, I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST).

Research Interests

My research centers on generative models. Specifically, I am interested in:

Multimodal systems (VLM, VLA, etc.)
Model architecture & Mechanistic interpretability
Real-world applications (healthcare, chemical synthesis, etc.)
