👨‍💻 About Me

👋 Hi! I am a second-year Ph.D. student at MiLab, School of Engineering, Westlake University, advised by Assoc. Prof. Donglin Wang. Prior to this, I received my master’s degree at School of Computer Science & Technology, Soochow University, advised by Prof. Shoushan Li and Assoc. Prof. Dong Zhang. Before that, I received my bachelor’s degree from School of Software, Henan University, advised by Lec. Zhen Wang.

My research interest lies in the intersection of EAI (Embodied AI), CV (Computer Vision) and NLP (Natural Language Processing).

📢 I am actively seeking academic internship opportunities within leading enterprises. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested!
