📝 Biography

- I am beginning my fourth-year Ph.D. student at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Soochow University, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Juntao Li and Prof. Min Zhang.

- Currently, I am a research intern in Tongyi-Qwen, focus on the Foundation Generative Models. Project: Qwen-Image.

- I was a research intern at NUWA Team, NLC Group in Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) (2023.01~2024.02) and Sora (Video Foundation Model) Team in StepFun (2024.05~2024.09). At the internship, I was honored with the "Star of Tomorrow" by MSRA and my focus was on Multimodal Generation with LLMs [Pub: Visual ChatGPT, LayoutNUWA (ICLR-2024), and StrokeNUWA (ICML-2024)].

- My research lie at Long Context Modeling and Generation, including but not limited to Exploration of New Efficient Model Architectures, Long-context Alignment and reasoning, Generative-AI.
