About me
I am currently a Ph.D. student at the School of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, supervised by Prof. Chao Gou and Prof. Guang Tan. I am also a student member of both IEEE and ACM. Previously, I was a research intern at ByteDance, mentored by Dr. Jiuqi Han and Dr. Ali Israr. I received honored B.S. degree from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2021, and was a short-term visiting student at Peking University.
During my undergraduate years, I actively engaged in diverse AI-related projects, including behavioral decision-making for humanoid robots (RoboCup), designing wearable navigation devices for the visually impaired, developing PID-control-based intelligent cars, and creating algorithms for computer gaming (military chess).
Currently, my research aims to enhance AI agents’ ability to understand complex interactions by simulating human cognitive processes and incorporating human knowledge, thereby facilitating more effective and user-friendly human-machine interactions. Building on this foundation, I have most recently expanded my efforts to include leveraging Language Large Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to represent human knowledge, which further enhances understanding tasks across various applications.
📣 I am seeking positions as a joint PhD student, visiting student, or research intern from May 2024. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research and want to discuss relevant research topic or potential collaborations! :)
