I am a researcher specializing in Generative AI at Tencent Youtu Lab. Previously, I worked as a full-time engineer at Kuaishou Technology (Kwai Inc.) from 2021 to 2023. I also completed research internships at Kwai (mentored by Haibin Huang and Chongyang Ma) and at Tencent AI Lab (mentored by Yuan Gao). I earned my Master’s degree from Department of Artificial Intelligence and Automation (AIA) at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2021, supervised by Prof. Nong Sang, and obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Integrated Circuit (IC) Design from the Department of Optoelectronic and Electronic Information (OEI) at HUST in 2018.
