Bio
I obtained my Ph.D. degree in School of Science and Engineering of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ). I was lucky to be advised by Prof. Rui Huang, Dr. Tao Mei and Prof. Chang-Wen Chen. Previously, I worked as a researcher and postdoctoral fellow at Sangfor Technologies and Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I participated in building China's first cybersecurity LLM Sangfor Security GPT and the CoStrict AI coding agent.
Recently, I joined the School of Artificial Intelligence at Shenzhen University as an Assistant Professor. My research areas cover large models and agents, computer vision, vision-language multimodal learning, and video understanding, with applications in multimedia content analysis, AI medical, and AI4Science, aiming to solve real-world problems with advanced AI technology.
I am recruiting master's students for 2026, welcome to contact me [See details]. Students who are interested in my research are also welcome to contact me. I am open to research collaboration—feel free to reach out!
