I am a Researcher at TikTok, specializing in Multi-Modal Generation. Previously, I worked as a Senior Researcher at Tencent Youtu Lab and a Graphics Algorithm Engineer at Kwai. Prior to my full-time career, I completed research internships at Kwai (mentored by Haibin Huang and Chongyang Ma) and Tencent AI Lab. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2018 and 2021, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Nong Sang.

📢 I am looking for self-motivated interns to work on Multi-Modal Generation and related topics. If you are passionate about research and have strong coding skills, please drop me an email with your CV.
