I am a senior researcher specializing in Generative AI at Tencent Youtu Lab. Previously, I worked as a full-time engineer at Kwai from 2021 to 2023. I also completed research internships at Kwai (mentored by Haibin Huang and Chongyang Ma) and Tencent AI Lab. I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s (supervised by Prof. Nong Sang) degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2018 and 2021, respectively.
