I am an incoming Ph.D. student at School of Computer Science in Nanjing University, fortunately advised by Prof. Yinghuan Shi. My current research interests primarily lie in LLM and multi-modal learning.

Previously, I was grateful to work with Prof. Kai Han and Prof. Rui Yan, focusing on multi-modal retrieval and video action recognition.
