About me
I am a first-year Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, advised by Prof. Hongxia Yang. My research focuses on generative AI, mainly on Large Multimodal Models and Agentic AI.
Prior to joining PolyU, I worked as a senior researcher at Tencent AI Lab and Tencent Hunyuan Team, where I was mainly responsible for the development and implementation of the Hunyuan Digital Human Language Model. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Master’s degree from New York University.
