📝 Biography

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

- Before that, I obtained the Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering (2018-2022) from Soochow University (Rank 1/380, Outstanding Graduate and Honorary Graduate).

- 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)].

- Currently, my research lie at Long Context Modeling and Generation, including but not limited to Exploration of New Efficient Model Architectures, Long-context Alignment via RL, Long-form reasoning, Long Video Generation.
