I am an undergraduate student majoring in Intelligent Science and Technology at North China Electric Power University (Baoding), expected to graduate in 2027. Currently, I am a visiting student at the AIMS Lab, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), under the supervision of Prof. Jun Xia.
My research interests include:
- Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Multimodal Learning
- Efficient Inference and Knowledge Distillation
- AI for Interdisciplinary Applications
‼️I am seeking 2027 Fall Master’s and Ph.D. opportunities and am also open to potential research collaborations.
