I focuse on cutting-edge research in AI, and maintain close collaborations with researchers from leading institutions worldwide, including Shanghai AI Laboratory, rednote, Alibaba Qwen, Tencent, and JD Logistics. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at USTC supervised by Professor Yang Wang (汪炀) and Professor Jie Wang (王杰), after which I joined the faculty at USTC.
